Planning
Robyn has declared in advance that she will attend this geohash, even if it takes two days to get there.
- thepiguy has also committed himself to the adventure and will begin preparing shortly.
On Thursday I will prepare everything I could conceivably need for a Vancouver geohash. That means bike, kayak, wetsuit, hiking boots, ferry schedules, T-Rex, bear repellent, ambassador letter, compass, GPS and camera batteries and spares charged, games, chalk, tent, sleeping bag, stove, food, and somewhere I can rent snowshoes borrowed from thepiguy.
Then at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, I will check the coordinates. If they are in a remote area I will spend at least an hour planning and researching routes, before I set off in search of the geohash.
Vancouver must not defy me!
Actual Planning
I see two (rather large) problem areas: the middle of the Georgia Straight and the northern quarter of the graticule. Just wondering what our crazy-ridiculous plans for those two eventualities were? How much was it to rent a plane? Thepiguy 05:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Participants
- First Aid supplies (and the training to use them)
- Snow shoes (two pairs)
- Bear spray and bear bells (no being eaten)
- Excessive amounts of camping equipment (a shipping container full in-fact)
