[edit] Expedition: Pierre's first geohashing
For my first geohashing, I planned things a bit, bit didn't take track of my expedition at all. So I thought about taking a GPS, old shoes and strong jeans, but not once did I think to write anything down during the expedition.
So, basically, I just crossed the border with Chris (in his car, as mine is nothing but a junk pile that somehow moves), compared the spot to the Google Map satellite view and saw I was in the right area, then wandered in the woods while carrying the GPS. Then I removed my clothes (this was a very hot day), and successively earned the geoflashing, formal attire and circus achievements. Finally satisfied, I came back home. It's a good thing my sidekick Chris was there to help me. He doesn't want to be a member, but wants to be mentioned nevertheless, so I guess this is all the credit he'll get!

[edit] Pictures
 In Luxembourg, you can find two things: Banks and cows. We found ourselves in the cow part. |
 We didn't have a Citation, so we just used Chris' car. |
 OK, the GPS wasn't the best tool we could have had, but at leat I had my trusted towel. I never go on an adventure without my towel. |
 We couldn't get closer than this. But we walked around this location for so long than I'm sure we steepd on the spot at some point. |
Geoflashing on my first attempt at geohashing: SUCCESS. |
... immediately followed by a Formal Attire achievment: SUCCESS. |
... while showing some circus abilities, of course still wearing my new suit: SUCCESS. |
