The game of darts with some (currently unregistered) friends did not end as expected (I lost)

I have made every now and then new ventures to geohashes after 2014, but without new graticules I haven't documented them here. Today, on 7th of May 2016, Saturday and the eve of mother's day, I took my kids and something to eat and headed to my first official xkcd meetup 2016_05_07 6024 since the hash was available and we did not have anything else, a rare occasion on Saturdays. We were at the hash at 16.00 and stayed for a while, but no one else showed up. We had fun without other hashers but I was a tad disappointed. I'll try to reach another Saturday meetup sooner than in 2018.
