Participants

Angel - Who used the Android hashing app to create this page, and appologises for the messiness. I'll try to tidy up later.

Plans

Walk to Lancaster University (check)
Upgrade Ingress portals to L7 (check - Vive le Resistance)
Head up the road to Quernmore
Wander around aimlessly looking for the hash
Curse my phone when I suddenly lose satellite signal
Eventually find what's probably the right place
Take a screenshot of the app as close as I can get
Curse as my GPS fix jumps 5 miles away at the exact moment it takes the screenshot
Take a photo of the location, and see the exact same effect
Walk down to Williamson Park for a consolation pint at the Pavillion

(Not the best plan in the world, but based on past experience, probably the most likely)

Expedition

A Stain On My Honor

Last time it was in Quernmore, I decided not to bother, thinking "It's so far from the road, it won't be reachable" ... Only to find out later that among the farmers' fields was a label "Quernmore Park", so it might have been reachable after all. I'm not letting that happen again!

Should there be a gratuitous award for something like this? "A stain on my honour", for claiming a hash close to, or similar to, one you're embarrassed to have failed? -- Angel (talk) @54.0197,-2.7941 04:26, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

Apparently I'm still stained. Next time, Quernmore, next time ... Angel (talk) 05:07, 10 May 2013 (EDT)
