Location

Rather new area of Nootdorp, probably inside someone's house.

Participants

Palmpje plans to be here around 1010:30 in the morning.

Plans

Palmpje's expedition

I felt extremely lucky when looking up this day's geohash location. As it happens I will have to be within 1 km from here on Saturday morning (alas!) to pick up my son. As it is so close I will see how accurate the Google Maps satellite image is.

Expedition

So how did it work out? A complete and utter failure! First I could not look for a geocache because a muggle was standing on top of it. The next two were in front gardens and not immediately visible. I feel such a fool for trying these... And then? I searched all pockets, all over my rucksack, but my note for today's hash coordinates was not to be found. I made a halfhearted attempt at a no batteries hash, but alas, I could not really figure out which house was the hash location. Did I enjoy all of this? Not really. Note to self: Enter a waypoint for the hash in your GPSr!
