[edit] Plans

Carl-Johan saw this on Friday, and it was too easy to pass up. Thought about biking but the pictures would be better if I tried at lunch so by subway was the way to go.

Thinking of taking the subway there during lunch. -- Carl-Johan 23:19, 11 March 2012 (CET)

[edit] Expedition Carl-Johan

My computer at the new work hadn't arrived so I popped out for lunch and grabbed my bag with a can of Orange™ and headed to the subway station. When I get down there it's 9 minutes until the next train in the right directin so i pop up the other exit and grab 2 cheeseburgers at McBlubbers.

Get on the train which takes to Gubbängen which is 350 m from the hash. Walk over there when all of a sudden I see a kitty! Must... pet... Kitty... mind strong... flesh weak....

I tear myself away from the kitty and walk the last 30 meters to the hash. As usual the GPS stops updating just as I have 28.84 m left to the hash. Why oh, why does this always happen. I blame google maps or something. I point the phone to the skies and flip around among programs until I get a signal lock again and it turns out I'm standing on the hash.

Easy as pie -- Carl-Johan @59.2660,18.0786 12:53, 12 March 2012 (CET)

Mark the dirt with Orange™ even though no one has ever visited my hashes after me. I don't even know why I bother.

Snap some pics and upload them while walking back to the subway and catch the train back to work. Way too easy this one.

[edit] Expedition Zeot, Henrik, Simon and Kristian

Me (zeot), Henrik and Kristian met up with Simon at the bus station in Skarpnäck and took bus 172 to Gubbängen around 16:10, and we arrived at Gubbängen around 10 minutes later. When we got there I enabled the GPS on my phone and we started walking straight towards our goal, with no regard for what was in the way. We had to go through a shrub, but other than that it was a surprisingly easy path we choose.

Reached the hash with Henrik, Simon och Kristian. -- zeot 16:39, 12 March 2012 (CET)

Once at the hash, we saw that someone had already been there. A very nice surprise, since we didn't know that anyone else in Stockholm geohashed.

We found that Cjk had tagged the area already, so we stole that and took some pictures.
