The first day the 30W Time Zone Rule is in effect. These coordinates became available east of -30° on Friday 23 May by combination of a Dow holiday (Memorial Day) on Monday 26 May and the new 30W Time Zone Rule, which posits that Tuesday's open would come too late in the day for eastern longitudes.

-* [[Brussels, Belgium]] - The coordinates for Brussels and environs are smack in the middle between the cities of Roly, Villers-en-Fagne, Matagne-la-Grande and Fagnolle. It seems perfectly reachable, but I'm not that familiar with the neighbourhood.
-* [[Munich, Germany]] - The coordinates for Munich are in a particularly nice neighborhood. The Exact location seems to be in the backyard of a residential city building, so it may not be appropriate, but right in front of the house is an awesome little park. There is a small chance that you actually can access the backyard as there are cars on the google earth shot ([[user:bock|bock]] will give it a try).  There is a very good place to eat not far from the location: The Cafe Hüller is just two blocks north on the corner of Bereiteranger.
-* [[London, United Kingdom]] - Very close to Saturday's point - in a field between the villages of Dunsfold and Loxhill.
