Expedition

This year, Geohashing Day happened to coincide with Ascension Day, so I had all day to undertake expeditions. And it so happened that the 51,4 hash was very reachable. As it was about to become a very sunny day (in fact, the first officially certified "warm day" of 2020), I decided to leave early to avoid the midday heat. I rode my bike along the river Schie, through the northern edge of Rotterdam and into Schiedam. Once there, it was quite easy to find the hash street (Havendijk) and the exact point, on a lawn between two apartment buildings.

Photos

  • The river Schie, running from Delft to Schiedam (hence the latter's name).

  • This majestic-looking stork was sitting on its nest.

  • These cows were eating breakfast.

  • View of Schiedam, FelixTheCat, 2020, digital media.

  • The hash street.

  • My bike at the spot.

  • GPS proof.

  • Lloyd and Toettoet celebrating Geohashing Day.

  • A pumping station to keep this residential area dry. It's quite a big one, with a pumping capacity of 480 m3/min.
