Plans
Just cycle to it from my home. And make some pretty pictures. And tell a bit about where it was.
Expedition
I've had push messages for geohashing since 2019, and this is the second time I've actually visited a place. (First time before the resurrection of the site...)
The push notification said: "LocalHash is 1km away, South". Sounded perfect for a after-work-cycle-trip. And it was! Directly next to a pond, and it was a good reason to go outside.
The hash location was right next to the Steve Bikoplein, named after a South African anti-apartheid activist. It's one of the French-style traffic circles which makes Nijmegen famous in the Netherlands. What makes it French-style is you having to give way to people *entering* the circle... This one is kind of chill though, as at least it has road markings, while the most famous one, Keizer Karelplein, has no road markings at all!
Photos
Just after work, let's gooooo
Proof that I was here!
Looking east. Now without GPS. You can just see restaurant 't Zusje behind the trees.
Looking north.
Looking west, you can just make out my bike.
Looking south, not much to see here.
The aformentioned Steve Bikoplein, 100m from the hash.
