The hash was in a paddock about eight hundred metres north east of a the Cemetry in Gundaroo. Owen Elliot came within sight of winning the Couch Potato Hash... or would Coffin Potato Hash be a better term?

Normally fences aren't a problem, you just climb through them. We climbed through a number of fences on our way to the hash, but unfortunately a fence that had been well made separated us from the paddock the hash was in. We wandered along the well made fence line, found a gate to the nearby state forest, and wandered along that fence line. Finally found a wombat scraping into the paddock we wanted to enter. FSM bless Wombats, nothing gets in their way! | Normally fences aren't a problem, you just climb through them.

Revision as of 16:53, 31 May 2008
A successful Canberra geohash! What a day! At around 4:30 eNIGMa and another made it to within 100 metres of the hash, which turned out to be in a paddock about 800 metres south east of the cemetery in Gundaroo. Unfortunately there were device problems.
At four thirty it must have seemed that no one else would show at the hash site, but these intrepid adventurers didn't count on one thing, the sheer disorganisation of another Canberra team. Oh yes, Canberrans made it to the hash site, at 7:30pm, but that's not half of the story!
