Expedition

This year, Geohashing Day happened to coincide with Ascension Day, so I had all day to undertake expeditions. And it so happened that the 51,4 hash was very reachable. As it was about to become a very sunny day (in fact, the first officially certified "warm day" of 2020), I decided to leave early to avoid the midday heat. I rode my bike along the river Schie, through the northern edge of Rotterdam and into Schiedam. Once there, it was quite easy to find the hash street (Havendijk) and the exact point, on a lawn between two apartment buildings.
