Location

In Gilmore Paddocks, a park next a freeway near the souther-eastern border of the ACT with NSW.

Participants

Expedition

Not much to this one - I'd finished my contract role on the Canberra tram project, so had some free time during the week, and took on this fairly easy geohash.

Heading off on the bike, I made a beeline for the hash, navigating a few bike paths and freeways to get there, until I crossed the road, negotiated some dumped rubbish, climbed a small, barbed wire fence, and reached the hash.

I didn't take any wet weather gear this time, and watched from the hashy hillside the rainy clouds roll past on their way to Queanbeyan. I took off towards them.

I went round the back to Queanbeyan where I sat in a river-side cafe to have my iced-coffee and white chocolate cheesecake before heading home to O'Connor.

Here is the route I took.
