I pretty easily managed to talk Pip into going for this one (especially since I'd been talking about Geohashing for a fair while), and we were already planning to see the permanent art installation depicting a model of the solar system on a one to one billion scale which was on the way.
So after Pip had arrived at my place and me faffing around for a while we set off on our bikes towards Pluto, located at the Beacon Cove Beach near the end of the 109 tram line.
From here we worked our way around the coast towards the inner planets 6kms away, taking photos of each other at each planet (and, umm, dwarf planet/stellar body).
Once we'd got to the sun we took off along Balaclava Rd towards the hashpoint, stopping only to get some chocolate milk and reapply our jackets to protect us from the intermittently shitty weather.
More to come...
Here is the route of our expedition. Myka gave us a lift between B and C.
