Expedition, as told by Steve
An attempt to turn vague statements of interest into firm plans the night before the hash coming to nothing, I slept fitfully, unresolved dreams and nightmares of geohash successes and failures floating round and round, until I woke up. I immediately checked my phone, and discovered that Felix and Lachie had launched an expedition, and I had 4 minutes to meet them somewhere to be part of it.
Immediately and decisively I decided that I wasn't sure, but that some quick breakfast would help me make a decision whether to try to get on board with the departing adventure wagon. I bought some time by suggesting they visit me at my new home, while frantically making coffee between spoonfuls of cereal, and wondering if I could figure out where all my necessary bike riding adventure bits were. Turns out I could. Although there was a brief moment where it looked like I was going to be channelling mid 2010s era training-Steve with long lycra bib shorts and two mismatched gloves.
I threw open the curtains to discover my hashmates had already penetrated my perimeter fence and were within my tiny front garden. I invited them inside, but Lachie, out of respect for my floorboards and his own shoe-removing laziness remained to further contemplate the few square metres of faux nature. Well, I assume. Maybe he was doing the Wordle.
After the briefest of tours, we departed. I educated my companions on the ways of the Brunswick Shimmy, and soon we found ourselves in familiar territory, down Canning St, through the city, and out along bike path.
It's amazing how much newness there is almost anywhere near a train line in Melbourne. New bike path along the Gardiners Creek Trail, amazing new Djerring Trail under the Skyrail of the Pakenham Line. We chatted about typical geohash stuff, letting Lachie take care of the navigation until...hang on, why are we going west? The hash is southeast of here. Engage criticism mode! Criticism mode engaged. "Lachie!"
