Plans
Macronencer plans to visit with his son, who is not a regular geohasher, but goes geocaching a lot, and is informally known as 'Micronencer'. We should be there around lunch time.
Expedition
So pleased to say that Micronencer (my son, 11, perhaps I'll make a page for him soon…) has finally come with me on a geohash. It was a really good one, too. We had a lovely walk through the woods, and there was a fallen tree right next to the hash point, allowing us to take a well-earned picnic break. The place was really litter-soiled, and we came away with quite a lot of trash, so that was a good bit of work. Also managed to remember to bring Chuck, my hashscot, this time - and also to do the XKCD marker. I even made a GPX track of the walking portion. The only thing I missed was that I'd planned to do a bit of juggling and tin whistle work. Unfortunately, I forgot the juggling balls and although I brought the whistle, I clean forgot about it and left it in the bag. Next time, we'll make a list…!
It's a lovely area to be in, anyway. I wouldn't mind living there, apart from the annoying litter dropped by the usual inconsiderate people.
Photos (and perhaps video) to follow!
