[edit] Location
Taumutu, Selwyn District, Canterbury, New Zealand
[edit] Participants
The Quaternary (talk) family geohashers
[edit] Plans
A nice easy beach geohash, and on a Saturday to boot!
[edit] Expedition
The nearest settlement to the hash is Taumutu, which means the end of a ridge, or a high ridge. At Taumutu is also found the Ngāti Moki marae.
Luckily the tide wasn't completely in, as this location might well have been underwater!

Escaping the Pacific Ocean (last time this geohasher got wet to his waist)
We found a fire that was perhaps lit last night?
A final goodbye to the hash point
About three kilometres East is Lake Ellesmere / Te Waihora, which is actually a broad, shallow lagoon
