Plans

KerrMcF

Sitting in a village near Warsaw, my girlfriend and I are looking at the weekend's geohashes. There's nothing great nearby, so we decide to check what it looks like back home. Oh, great. It's in the multi-story car park of a shopping centre that I have been to many, many times - an opportunity for a Multiple elevations achievement, something I've been wanting to do for a long time - and I'm over 1,600km away. Time to ask anyone I know who might be willing to go on my behalf.

The first two friends I asked said they wouldn't be able to, which is fair enough. My mum said she potentially could, if I sent her the exact details of where to go and what to do, so I do this. If she ends up going, it will probably be in the early afternoon.

Expedition

KerrMcF's mum & sister

I don't know the exact details of the expedition, as I wasn't there, but I know it was a success. My mum and sister reached the car park at around 2:40pm, but had issues with the GPS thinking that they were in Renfrew instead. 15 minutes later, I get a message saying they had managed to get the location working on the top floor and one level down, but that the signal strength wasn't enough below that. I was also sent four photos, which I have added below. Although they reached the coordinates on all four floors, they were only able to record proof on two of them.
