Location

The hash is near Bidezabal, right off the Paseo!

Participants

LizWiz and Krejci will conquer this virgin graticule!!

Plans

Take the metro to Bidezabal and walk to the hash.

Expedition

Everything went as planned: we took the metro to Bidezabal and had no trouble getting to the Paseo. We passed the cemetery and found the path leaving the Paseo. From Google's aerial view we knew the approximate location relative to trees and bushes. However, with the help of an iPad sort of device we were able to arrive at the exact location (first GPS hashing for LizWiz!).

As we made our way back we had a nice view of the ocean. A big ray of sunlight made it through the thick grey clouds above, and made a nice green light patch on the dark water.

Photos

Achievements

LizWiz and Krejci earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement

by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (43, -3) graticule, here, on 2014-01-18.
