Participants

Tom

Expedition

There was some talk of Lachie doing a double hash by getting this and the nearby Christmas Day geohash across midnight. Sadly that did not come to pass.

It was a miserable, rainy day this Boxing Day. Valiently, Tom, who lives near the area, sacrificed himself to achieve this hash at night, achieving the hash at approximately 9:29pm.

He reported that it was pretty easy, and a beautiful night for a hash (the rain had obviously passed).

Tom earned the Bicycle geohash achievement

by cycling 10 kms to the (-37, 145) geohash on 2023-12-26.

+It was a miserable, rainy day this Boxing Day. Valiently, Tom, who lives near the area, sacrificed himself to achieve this hash at night, achieving the hash at approximately 9:29pm.
-A very rainy Christmas day left us in Ivanhoe, bellies bursting, with a car, only a few kilometres away. Feeling rather soft for not being on bikes, we drove to Banksia Park, me trying to navigate from memory and doing a pretty bad job of it. The North East Link freeway disaster looked suitably apolocalyptic, with dozens of mobile cranes and other heavy machinery around.
-We drove some distance in and parked at an arbitrary point. Immediately we heard kookaburras and our spirits lifted. It's beautiful here! As we wandered along, we saw ducks too.
-Originally we were hoping the point would just be on the grass, but soon we had to take the plunge into the extremely wet undergrowth, stomping through wandering trad. The phone GPS was being rather erratic. It showed 1 metre, but then quickly jumped up to 4m, so I wasn't quite satisfied. We did a lot more stomping through the bush and getting wet, turning in circles until we ended up at exactly the same spot, where it read 1 metre again. That seemed good enough now, so we plopped out.
-Then we did a nice short walk along the path, saw a few more birds and trees, and found the car again.
