Expedition: Pierre's first geohashing

For my first geohashing, I planned things a bit, bit didn't take track of my expedition at all. So I thought about taking a GPS, old shoes and strong jeans, but not once did I think to write anything down during the expedition.

So, basically, I just crossed the border with Chris (in his car, as mine is nothing but a junk pile that somehow moves), compared the spot to the Google Map satellite view and saw I was in the right area, then wandered in the woods while carrying the GPS. Then I removed my clothes (this was a very hot day), and successively earned the geoflashing, formal attire and circus achievements. Finally satisfied, I came back home. It's a good thing my sidekick Chris was there to help me. He doesn't want to be a member, but wants to be mentioned nevertheless, so I guess this is all the credit he'll get!
