Have you seen our geohashing marker? We'd love to hear from you! Click here to say "hi" and tell us what you've seen!

Curious about what geohashing is? Read more!

Hashpoint!

Location

In a foresty part of Zeist. Very close to the buildings of a Scouting group.

Participants

Antior

Plans

Well, it's close by and seems reachable. Also, it's in a foresty area. So I'll just go there.

Expedition

After doing another errand, I was already on my bike, and I already brought my stuff, so I decided to not stop by my home, but just go to the hash right away. It was a bit windy, coldish and rainy, but after a bit the sun started shining. When I got to forest path I parked my bike and walked the last bit. As it turned out the location was in the little field exactly opposite to the Scouting Buildings. I tried to find the exact location (without GPS) and I think I managed, though the terrain had changed a little bit since the Google photo. I certainly got within the uncertainty range. I attached the marker to the lone tree near the hash in such a way that people walking over the forest path or people at the Scouting will see it. I wonder if I get any reactions from them here...

Photos

Start of the forest path. Good place to park my bike.
Street sign of the path. "Pathfinders Lane". Pathfinders means Scouts.
Scouting buildings near the hash.
More Scouting buildings.
Sign showing the name of the forest. Zeisterbos.
Picture made on the geohash point.
Scouting buildings from near the geohash.
The marker, well visible from the path and the Scouting buildings.
