Location

On Weaver Place, across from Sockburn Park, Sockburn, Christchurch, NZ.

Participants

Plans

The hash was within walking distance from uni, so I kind of had to take the opportunity to go. After all, a hash being within walking distance of any given point is a pretty rare occurance. My original plan was to wait until it stopped raining before attmepting the journey. But the rain did not stop, even after 14:00, and so I decided to embark on the journey to the hash anyway.

Expedition

I left uni and headed southwest towards the hash. Most of the streets along the way were residential; they were streets with houses and not much else. As I headed down the streets, the rain eventually stopped about halfway to the hash. However, a lot of the ground was still wet. When I got to the hash, I took a photo of the impressive pylons in the park towering above their surroundings and providing electricity to the people around them. There wasn't much else at the hash other than the pylons, and so I began to head back to uni.

The journey back from the hash was pretty similar to the journey to the hash. It began raining again when I was about halfway along the journey back. I walked along the same streets for the most part, though near the end I walked a bit too far north past uni, and as such had to backtrack. I then returned to uni, safe and warm.

Photos

My first geohash! @-43.5368,172.5565
