Location

Grieve Parade, off the west-bound Westgate where it turns into Princes Freeway, Altona. Probably speedracer.

Participants

Kozz will look to head out this morning, hopefully before lunchtime.

Plans

Kozz will head there hopefully before midday, and will attempt a speed racer.

Expedition

Kozz - Quick and simple Speed Racer.

I drove from Camberwell across the Westgate, exited at Grieve Parade, and drove past the hashpoint (video evidence waiting to be coded), did a U-turn, drove past it again in a different lane, then stopped next to the road to snap some pictures.

I stopped at a nearby United fuel station, but they didn't sell squishees or slurpees of any nature.

Drove home uneventfully, and will now work all afternoon.

The hashpoint; middle of the second lane
1.35 metres - not close enough!
