Remove this section if you don't want an image at the top (left) of your report.  You should remove the "Image:" or "File:"
 
tag from your image file name, and replace the all upper-case word IMAGE in the above line.
 
 
And DON'T FORGET to add your expedition and the best photo you took to the gallery on the Main Page! We'd love to read your report, but that means we first have to discover it! :)

I drove to Hoskinstown Road from Bungendore and picked up the landmarks first time (circular lawn farm gantry, then tree line on the right). The paddock has a double row of fence, with barbed wire at the top and first row under that, and a cattle-zapper-fence wire that I did not care to test. The fences are well built and maintained, with taut wire. I was unable to get over the fence (standard method is to depress the second wire IF YOU CAN and slip under the top), so drove a little further to the end of the field where the map showed a gate and road. The gate is into the next field, and was locked, so I understood this as "no permission".

Location

A paddock immediately east of the Hoskinstown Road, about 4km south of Bungendore. The hash is in clear ground near trees.

Participants

1PE (Canberra)

Plans

1PE (Canberra)

Lunchtime from work in Canberra, about 25-30 minutes drive from my work. I plan to leave an ActiveGeohashing.com poster on an adjacent tree. The property/house is not evident from the overhead pictures. This is probably sheep country, but I'll look out for larger animals before crossing the fence.

Expedition

1PE (Canberra)

I drove to Hoskinstown Road from Bungendore and picked up the landmarks first time (circular lawn farm gantry, then tree line on the right). The paddock has a double row of fence, with barbed wire at the top and first row under that with mesh wire to the ground, and a cattle-zapper-fence wire that I did not care to test. The fences are well built and maintained, with taut wire. I was unable to get over/through the fence (standard method is to depress the second wire IF YOU CAN and slip under the top wire), so drove a little further to the end of the field where the map showed a gate and road. The gate is into the next field, and was locked, so I understood this as "no permission".

I fixed the ActiveGeohashing.com poster to the fence beside the lock, and took some pictures.

I returned "the other way", taking Hoskinstown Road to the south past the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST), a radio-telescope 6km south of the hash point.
