Expedition

The map showed that finally there was a geohash near enough to our house and not a farm and not on someone's garden. Yay!

Shouldn't be hard. Jumped in the car and headed up the road. We couldn't go on the motorway (as we were using a space saver tyre) and so planned to use some of the backroads so we could travel at a reasonable speed. The route we chose was a dead-end, it had been closed for the day for a mountain climb car race. Choosing the alternate route probably doubled the distance to the hash!

Easily got to the hash location. As we got out of the car, all of the cows in the farm across the road decided we must be bringing them their breakfast. Quick set of photos and home again, in time for work!
