Expedition 1 - Tom

Hit with a touch of insomnia in the early morning, I was notified of this relatively nearby and accessible hash by Steve through our geohashing chat group. The expedition was eerily similar to a hash I did in late April, however shorter and in the opposite direction along the Main Yarra Trail. As with the April hash, the sky was full of showers, however this time I was better prepared with a rain coat and a bike with mudguards. I left home around 1:30pm and was home well within an hour, and just in time for my son's child care's Father's Day celebrations.

Expedition 2 - Lachie

Lachie drove! And brought chairs and a beer. Then he callously took his chairs home, leaving no creature comforts for the next three expeditions.

Expedition 3 - tAlex

tAlex ventured off his usual commute home to pick up the hash. Expecting to find a comfortable chair to sit down on and enjoy the hash, he was thoroughly disappointed.

Expedition 4 - Steve

Steve headed out only shortly after tAlex, and was also expecting a chair. More disappointment ensued.

Expedition 5 - Rob

After being subtly pressured by Tom on the group chat, and having learnt of Lachie's selfish chair antics, Rob headed to the hash just after 10pm with beer and his large cargo bike to sit in. He enjoyed the view, the beer, and the comfort of his cargo bike but was displeased by some of the local architecture.
