Location

South of the Norwich, Postwick park and ride, Norfolk, UK.

Participants

Sourcerer

Plans

Sourcerer is tethered to a cardiac monitor in the James Paget Hospital. When he attempts this expedition, he will be about eight paces closer at the end than at the beginning. Of course the coordinates will not be reached. But the Trail of blood achievement is in reach.

Expedition

Sourcerer: This report is a bit cheeky and I'd be happy for the community to downgrade it to "not attempted".

  1. I was closer to Postwick at the end of my eight pace tethered walk.
  2. This might be a wiki first.
  3. A good story beats an unclear rule.
  4. I won't try this on again. It's only fun the first time.
  5. I will be checking for a hospital bed (couch) potato hashpoint tomorrow.

There is good medical news. It was not a heart attack. I might be back in action by the weekend.

Update

I'm unhooked from the heart monitor. Also I was conveyed by hospital porter wheelchair to the ultrasound suite. This was perhaps 100 metres closer to Postwick. And I am not pregnant.

Update two

Late Thursday: They let me out with clot busting drugs and the usual lifestyle advice. The Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday points were in the north sea so these could not have been reached. I have added a new entry to Category:Addicted to geohashing.

Suggestions

  • Alter your "last will and testament" requiring your coffin (casket) to travel via a hashpoint or alternatively you have your ashes scattered at a hashpoint - extra credit if the terrain causes particular difficulty to the pallbearers.
  • In your will, specify a ruggedized urn for your ahses, to be passed to a live geohasher to be used as a hashcot. You continue to reach coordinates posthumously.
