Plans

In what must be the most extensively planned geohash in history ... we've had the date set for over a month and it took a long irc chat to find a window of opportunity we could all manage ...!

Macronencer is arriving by car at Reading around 1630, to meet sermoa off a train, and the others off a different train, either at 1630 or 1700. We will all take the car to the hash point. Macronencer has done some research and found a page describing a walk that goes through Nott wood, next to the hash point. This is good! Now we know we can at least get fairly close. All it will take is a dash through the wood and over the field and we'll be there! It may be dark before we return to the car, so dress suitably and bring torches if you have them.

Oooo I have a torch! got a free torch plus screwdriver plus spirit level all-in-one from yahoo today at Future of Web Apps! How completely awesome is that?!! :) -- sermoa 23:27, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

The .999 is fascinating! It'll be my first geohash in 51,-0 but the longitude line actually runs through the field! We'll probably actuall approach the field from 51,-1 - my home graticule! -- sermoa 22:17, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Expedition

I might not be able to add photos or write this up straight away, so someone else will need to take the reins. I'll get my contributions in by Sunday night, I hope. --macronencer 22:12, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I can certainly write up but I don't have a good camera with me, so no photos from me. -- sermoa 22:19, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
