This graticule has the problem that quite a large part of it is unreachable because of the sea. If the geohashed location turns out to be in the sea (the chance of this is not negligible), can I suggest that maybe the geohashed location of the [[Zuid west Nederland / Antwerpen|east-side neighbours]] be used as back-up? The [[Main Page|official policy]] is postponing the meet-up (but that would happen too often); or alternatively, renting a boat (but this might be costly).

This graticule, with coordinates 51, 3 contains the cities of Ghent, Bruges and Terneuzen. It covers the north-western part of Oost-Vlaanderen, the north-eastern part of West-Vlaanderen and the western part of Zeeland. Some of its area is in the North Sea.

About 50% of the graticule is unreachable because it's either sea or river.
