== Location ==

North edge of a fallow field near Pencaitland, Scotland.

== Participants ==

*[[User:Delts|Chris]]
*Rjwd (aka Delts' friend (who has still to sign up))
*[[User:kenny_val|Kenny]]

== Plans ==

Chris and Rjwd will meet up with Kenny and then walk from Pencaitland to the [[geohash]] location via Glenkinchie and back on a modified route so that Kenny could get the [[Tron achievement]].

== Expedition ==

Rjwd and myself (Chris) first drove from Haddington to Pencaitland to meet Kenny before setting off on the adventure. A decent days weather made the trip a pleasant jaunt in the country. We took a route which followed an almost figure of 8 for Kenny to get the Tron achievement. A rather short and unadventurous route little happened that was noteworthy. We did stop in Glenkinchie (a local whisky distillery, whose product tastes ''awesome'') and did the usual photo posing. At the location we had a short wait on a tractor vacating the field, none of us could be bothered explaining that we were from the internet. We had a slight issue getting the actual location spot on since the gps was jumping around. A lot of circling the point and frustration later, we got some photos (none of the spot on location, the gps was jumping around too much to manage) and headed back, taking an old railway back and taking the fourth route at a cross roads that we had already hit making the figure of 8. Short walk back and we were done. First hash for Kenny, and plans to hash more often.

== Plans ==

Complete my first geohash and go for the Tron achievement. Aimed to set out at 19:00 since I was dragging a friend along who had to return from Edinburgh.

== Expedition ==

We decided to walk this one since the hashpoint fell about 6 miles from Haddington where we both lived. Despite the horrid weather taking a 15 minute drive felt like it would be cheating over actually taking the trek. We started off at 19:30 from the middle of Haddington, hoping to complete the 12 mile round route in about 4 hours. The weather was consistently below freezing (normally -1C when we checked) and we had massive visibility issues due to fog. Most of the night it was down to between 5 and 10 meters visibility. We managed to get to the hash point at about 22:15 after having gotten slightly lost in the adjacent field. The fog had lifted slightly and we got great views of the stars but the actual hash point was in a fallow field and uninteresting. Photos were taken and the temperature was measured at -1.3C. We left from the opposite end of the field and started doing the return loop. A missed turn meant we had to take a slightly longer road (0.3 miles) but we managed to not cross our own path. The visibility was awful on the way back rarely getting beyond 5 meters which delayed us significantly. The total trip took 6 hours rather than the planned 4 but it was completed despite icey hair, thick fog and the odd patch of ice.

Going to attempt my first geohash tonight, aiming to leave about 19:00 GMT. Will tweet using @_Delts and hashtag #geohash553. Currently 0.3C and about 15m visibility.

Successful, back home now, very tired. I'll write up the report on Sunday or Monday. I managed to get several achievements as well.

== I think it would be cool... ==

If someone had the balls to Geohash the North Sea. I think they could qualify for the Addicted to Geohashing award for it.

Yeah, I messed up. It should be -3. I'll make the changes when I do the full write up. Delts.
