Location

On a street in North Vancouver, near the north end of the Mosquito Creek trail.

Participants

Rhonda

Plans

Walk up the Mosquito Creek trail, then walk back down it. If nobody joins me I might run it instead. It looks to be about an hour's walk to the hashpoint from the Seabus Terminal.

Expedition

The simplest execution of a geohash... I programmed the coordinates into my running GPS, then Sophie and I went for a run up Mosquito Creek. Between the navigation arrow and my memory of what the map looked like, I ran directly to the point then chalked the pavement and took a couple of pictures, after which I ran back to the park and a little further upstream before turning around and running home.

Photos

Heading up Mosquito Creek park
and under the highway bridge
to the hashpoint,
a silly grin,
and some chalk marks.
Then another picture of the park on the way back down, just because I live in a beautiful area.

Achievements

Rhonda earned the Walk geohash Achievement

by reaching the (49, -123) geohash on 2015-10-24 on foot, travelling a distance of 8km.
