It's there!

Location

In residential Leiderdorp near the T-crossing of Mauritssingel and Kleiwarenwaal.

Participants

Palmpje (talk) 11:20, 14 September 2013 (EDT) was there at hash 'o clock

Plans

Drive through a the maximum speed of probably 30 km/h.

Expedition

I had almost forgotten to look up today's coordinates then I found out that it was very reachable. But it was drizzling all morning so I decided to skip this one. Then it started to clear up and I thought I'd have a go anyway. It was too late to set up the expedition page beforehand but maybe Murfie would be there anyway.

Initially, I drove to the incorrect place, and when I punched in the coordinates it showed yet another 3km to go. Then I had trouble finding the correct approach but I ended up near the hashpoint at 15:40 to find that it did not really look correct. I decided to do a nearby geocache first and get back to the hashpoint at exactly 4pm. After logging the cache I discovered that earlier I had mistyped the coordinate and now it looked much better so I drove back and was at the hashpoint exactly on time. Made some pictures and left the geohashing flyer from Crox's service. Sadly nobody else showed up. My plans for a speedracer were also abandoned as the hashpoint is not on a road but next to a bicycle path. It was fun going out once again though.

Photos

Did not bring my bicycle
Close enough
This should draw attention
