Expedition

A rather boring hash. I had to go to Kilsyth for work today which meant driving within 2km of today's hash. I drove to the house that has the hash at the back fence of it because that's where my gps app said was the closest adress and found it was in a school. I went in to the school not liking my chances of being allowed to far in but decided to do the right thing and go to reception first to ask for permission. In spite of me offering to show my working with children permit I was asked to leave. I went back to the house that i had parked outside and knocked on the door, there was no answer and no fence to the backyard so i wandered around the back hoping to find someone to talk to. There was no one there but there were clothes on the line so I didn't feel comfortable going much further. I got to within 10m of the hash which my phone counts as success took a quick photo of me and a screen shot of the GPS and headed off for my next job in Somerville.
