This hashpoint was located at the back of 28 Swanson St, Erskineville. It was 11:45 pm and I thought I'd go for it...

Report
After finally getting a geohash yesterday, I eagerly awaited 11:30pm Friday- when the three weekend hash points are released. However for out gratical, it hasn't been particularly joyous lately- with a very low percentage of points falling in accessible places. As the screen refreshed at 11:30pm and I thought, oh, that's funny- tomorrow's is just up the road! Then I thought about it, looked at the time and realised - MIDNIGHT GEOHASH TIME!
I left the house at 11:46pm, after uploading my GPS and un-taping my camera from a card-board box (I've been doing stop motion animation for uni...It's going to take me ages to get the positioning right again...)
11:55, stuck at the traffic lights. Only 1 km to go- could be touch and go... 11:58, wizz up the lane to the dead end and my GPS hits 1m before spiraling upwards to 55m away. 11.59, hop out of the car, still pulling insulation tape off my camera to grab a midnight photo with 3 meters to go.
I could have stayed longer, perhaps got a complete lock, but it was raining, and dark, and I was in a back alley. Oh, and I've just realised my ex-boyfriend is a stalker, due to the fact that as I ran out the door I saw someone sitting on our veranda, and his car in our lane...
It was gone when I got home 15 minutes later...
