The Zuid-west Nederland / Antwerpen graticule is at latitude 51, longitude 4. It contains the cities of Antwerpen, Bergen op Zoom, Breda, Dordrecht, Roosendaal en Rotterdam.
For the latest location, we could use this Geohashing ATOM feed. And then plot that into Google maps.

Notable Dates
None yet.
Missed Dates
2008-05-24 51 4 According to the ATOM feed, the location for the Saturday meet is here in Hoogstraten, Belgium. I hope I can make time to get there. It looks like I can't make it this week. Besides that, there is something wrong with the location. I had found this location both through the tool and the atom feed. And right now I'm getting a different location. I'm going to forgo this week, because of time constraints on my side and because the new location is a bit far away.
People
- MadJo is currently one of the maintainers here. He lives in Bergen op Zoom.
- Nazgjunk lives about 200m to the east of this graticule and might very well pop up some time.
- Koyochi lives in Antwerp.
- DWizzy is at the very top of the map, above Rotterdam, and might cycle is way to a location.
- Keith is probably even closer to the top of the map and can do anything but drive a car to get to a location (also has no GPS).
