Location

Near or on a small canal close to the city of Grombalia, 40km away from Tunis, Tunisia.

Participants

Dunaril and Katu.

Plans

We are visiting Tunisia for the week and just attended a wedding in Hammam-Lif! We were going to drive to Nabeul today so the hash was just 5 minutes away from our expected route. We couldn't turn down such an opportunity to score the first geohash in this graticule (and maybe in Tunisia?)

Expedition

This went as smoothly as we could hope. We left the highway and parked where the main road crossed the canal we had seen on satellite imagery. We walked for a couple hundred meters and the GeohashDroid helper turned green (closest fix at 4 meters). We took the necessary selfie and went on to the amazing Dar Sabri in Nabeul.

Achievements

According to this map this is the first successful expedition in Tunisia and the 5th geohash reached in an African country (the 4 others having been all reached in South Africa), but the 10th hash on the African "continent" (5 hashes having been reached in Canary islands).

Dunaril and Katu earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the (36, 10) geohash on 2015-08-19.

Dunaril and Katu earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (36, 10) graticule, here, on 2015-08-19.
