Black Friday Redux

Canberra's graticule for Saturday 14th June was a rather poor location. So we improvised, and visited the previous days graticule some 24 hours late. This is our tale...

Note: This expedition used an old version of the Geohashing algorithm before the 30W Time Zone Rule was enacted.


The Place

Psud and Keiran again arrived early, and went ahead to scout out the hashpoint dig shallow graves. Luckily Nemo, Joanna, and Ainsley caught up to them before long, and foiled their cunning plan.

In Soviet Russia, Nemo finds you!
Psud

Apart from a steepish uphill at the start, the road to the hash was pretty level, unlike the hills from last week.

The GPS satellites conspired against us, so we ended up walking in a circle around the hashpoint before finally finding it. It ended up being a tree, which Psud obligingly climbed.

At the hashpoint

We had a picnic! Played with puzzle boxes. Tried carving xkcd into a rock, but the knife wasn't sharp enough and the rock was too hard to make a dent. So we made xkcd out of branches instead.

Nemo and Joanna showed off their juggling skills.

Kieran waged war with sticks.

Violence! You taught us violence!
Helen, directed at Kieran

Ainsley found a bug.

We also did some hat-swapping.
