Location
Next to the River Frome near Dorchester
Retro Expedition 2020-03-09
This is Macronencer's Displaced Origin Geohash for this graticule, and he attempted to reach it as it looked easy enough...
Participants
Plans
Macronencer plans to drop by on a round trip that also includes a standard hash near Winfrith Newburgh, just 15 minutes away by car.
Expedition
Co-ordinates NOT reached due to severe flooding of river. Report to follow later! For now, I'll just mention that My Kingdom for a Boat, There Might be Alligators, and Velociraptor Attack would all have been relevant achievements, if only this were a standard hash!
Tracklogs
Photos
The hash point looked perfect from orbit...
Look! It's RIGHT on the FOOTPATH!
The car park was frustrating. I had no coins to tried to pay via the app, but it crashed.
Taoism meets Confucionism?
Not a fan of long traffic-ridden roads like this.
A very picturesque bridge over the River Frome.
So this is the fate that used to await vandals. They were "Fooksed"! Actually, transported (probably to Australia).
The path is down here.
Uh oh. This is looking quite muddy.
Alligator swamp! And there were velociraptors on each side too, but I made it.
Dorchester in the distance.
The hash point is over there. It doesn't look particularly dry.
OK, this one is beyond me. I need a boat! I don't think even wellies would have helped. Waders, maybe.
Standing in the shallows, Mother Nature's bitch.
I was only 91m away :(
Antiques place.
This town is full of Sehenswürdigkeiten. (Sorry, practising my German!)
Dinosaurs on a window! What is this?
Oh. A dinosaur museum. We're close to the famous "dinosaur coast" here!
Not raptors, luckily. All the raptors were over at the flooded path, I think.
Fudge...
...and Potter, almost next door! I wondered what those two ended up doing after the movies.
