Location

Rakaia, New Zealand

Participants

Plans

A happy convergence of fate! Looking at the Geohashing Coordinate Calculator it was apparent that in the neighbouring graticule to where I live, there was a publically accessible geohash location PLUS we had to go and pick up a Trademe (online auction) purchase about one kilometre away from it. This calls for some geohashing!

Expedition

With the Trademe item successfully picked up (a beehive) it was off to find the geohash. It was found without too much of a problem. One of the neighbours came out and shared a yarn with us - he thought it was pretty cool concept and was a little sad that it wasn't on his property :)
