Expedition 4

We all met up along the route, with John riding from home to my (Felix's) place, Lachie riding from Fitzroy North and collecting Patrick and Pearl along the way, then us all meeting up in Brunswick West and riding the Moonee Ponds Creek rail trail to the hash in the evening murk.

We had to climb a steep, muddy slope to get through an unlocked gate to access the hash-oval. Here we also met up with Cam. We took photos and screenshots to show we'd reached the hash.

We then met up with Joel, Kate and puppy Carrington who had walked from their Pascoe Vale home to meet us at the hash. Many beers were had by all.

We then rode home in the dusk, peeling off in much the same way we'd coalesced.

Expedition 5

This was my second expedition for the day, with the one prior being the first successful expedition in the Swan Hill graticule. After traveling four hours from Kerang Station to Footscray Station, I took then the train to North Melbourne Station, then to Pascoe Vale Station. I then crossed a bridge, walked down the trail along the creek, and found that the oval was being used at this time of day.

I decided not to approach, making this a failed expedition. I wasn't worried though, because I was still very happy with today's achievement.
