Plans

I got a notification that today's location was 0 km from my house. Zero! Could it be the Couch Potato Geohash for me? No :( But hey, at least it's on a street, not in someone else's house, so I can visit it.

Oh, and I see that there is a place for a Honorable Mention on the Couch Potato Geohash page! I'll add myself there, whoohoo!

Expedition

Yeah, well, 'expedition' is a big word for having to walk 6 minutes from my front door. It threatened to rain rain, so my preparations consisted of getting a jacket. And putting on my shoes. Oh, and starting my GPS. That was the most exciting part of this expedition: would there be enough time for it to get a fix?

Walking to the location I recognized it. It could almost have been a Déjà vu geohash... 50m further down the street there was the final location of a really nifty multi-cache Geo*c*ache that I've done earlier.

Photos

• 

  Looking North-East. The roof of the shed has seen better days...

• 

  Looking North-West. My photo-taking qualities are as inspiring as the weather was.

• 

  Looking south-east. Note: South-West would be taking a photo directly into someones home, so I didn't do that.

• 

  Proof!
