Plans

4pm saturday meetup. I'll be at my parents house for father's day, and will be attempting a walking geohash from that location. -- Xore 20:21, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll be cycling from Mission using the Albion ferry and the new bridge. My first Geohash with other people. ~40km each way --Fbfree 20:57, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Elbie's plan:

13:00 - depart UBC
14:20ish - get to Commercial, take SkyTrain
15:00 - arrive Surrey Central, bike out to coordinates (take Fraser, then 88).

Is anybody else biking in? Want to meet at Surrey Central? - Elbie 18:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Expedition

Elbie

This was a pretty straightforward expedition for me. I left UBC around 12:30, and detoured a few times for errands. I biked out to Commercial SkyTrain station and took the Expo Line out to Surrey. And from there, I biked out to the hashpoint. I arrived around 15:30, apparently getting there first. I located the hashpoint within the accuracy of my GPS and was in the process of making a sign for the hashpoint when I saw Fbfree arriving.

Relatively uneventful cycling expedition. No secret trails were discovered, orientation was maintained, did not pass GO and receive $200 (CAD), did not rescue the princess, and certainly no small furry animals were harmed.

Explored a couple more new routes in order to better plan out future Tron attempts, but was met with a loop-making pedestrian overpass which was required crossing—will have to explore routes further north. Also, unlike my previous expedition into Surrey, an actual cycling route with sane grades was used.

Arrived at King George SkyTrain station at 15:00, and waited until just before 15:40 to see if I could happen to catch Elbie or plypkie (I did not). Met up with the rest of the hashers (minus Xore) shortly after.
