Location

Templeton, Christchurch, New Zealand

Participants

Quaternary (talk) with drag-along David!

Plans

Looks like a reasonably easy hash - in a green area off a road. But would it be a park or a paddock? I am heading out that way later on in the day with a friend, David, so we'll check it out.

Expedition

It turned out that the hash was in the middle of a paddock. Walking into the paddock would be trespassing. However, my friend David whom I was with was a lawyer, and he considered the situation like this: "You're not actually trespassing until someone asks you to leave. Otherwise, how would you go and ask someone for permission if you couldn't go and knock on someone's door? As long as you are not on the land with an unlawful purpose."

Ahh, yeah, that makes sense. And what could be a more lawful purpose than geohashing!!

But I still didn't want to get growled at by someone! Still, it didn't look as if this land had a farm house on it. It looked like just an empty paddock surrounded by suburbia. Besides, it probably was belonged to by the government. Strapping on the proverbials, we decided to jump the barb wire fence and claim the hash for all the hashers of the world!

Because as they say, if you're not living life on the edge then you're taking up too much room!
