Participants

The Quaternary (talk) family geohashers

Plans

Having a BBQ with friends to celebrate the end of the summer, when we realised that there was a roadside geohash a mere 14km to the North-West!

Expedition

After the BBQ's first-course, we thought we'd dash out before dessert, while there was still some light. Typically, it started to rain as we left!

We dragged one of our friends with us on this quest, and it did take a bit of explaining.

This was on a grass verge beside a country road, just next to the hedge. This was extraordinarily reminescent of our last geohash, but at least this time the hedge was not prickley - just common old pinus radiata.

Grabbed a few quick pics as the light started to fade.
