Plans

Ben will aim to be there at the canonical meetup time of 4pm, although is happy to make it earlier or later if other hashers would like to meet up. It's about three miles from home, so Ben will walk or cycle, depending on what the weather's doing.

PaintedJaguar is likely to be busy on Monday, so will attempt this hashpoint on Sunday night (aiming for midnight), to be certain of finding the time to reach it. It's even closer to his home than it is Benjw's home, but, at just over 1km, is too far for a Couch Potato Honourable Mention. Doing it in the night continues the theme of the previous two days' expeditions (2013-08-03 52 0 and 2013-08-04 52 0), and hopefully allows for a midnight hash, which wasn't achieved on either of those.

Expedition

PaintedJaguar

This expedition looked so easy on paper, even with the added complication of doing it at midnight, that PaintedJaguar decided to complicate matters even further at the last minute by aiming for a Tron achievement as well.

However, this really didn't make it any harder. He was able to walk from home to the hashpoint, leave a marker (on the pavement adjacent to the lawn containing the hashpoint), hang around for 10 minutes waiting for midnight, and walk home via a different route, all in under an hour, and without having to check a map or his GPS for directions at all during the expedition. Therefore he's going to claim the 'easy geohash' award.

This was also his third consecutive day of geohashing, after 2013-08-03 51 -0, 2013-08-03 52 0 and 2013-08-04 52 0.
