Location

In a cul-de-sac in Hillegom

Participants

Plans

In a town with a train station. If I leave work at 18:30, I can be at the station at 19:30. If I'm then back at 21:00, I can be home at 22:30. Totally doable.

Expedition

Surprisingly, that went exactly as planned. Arrived at the hash a bit after 20:00. However, I didn't quite feel like walking a couple of meters onto the house's driveway. So a minimum distance of 5m it is (and I only have proof of 6m, but it was jumping between 4.8 and 6.5 while there).

When I got home and back on IRC, I learned that Murfie (who is a ninja) went to the hash earlier today, and even left a mark. Which I had not seen. D'oh.

Ah, well. I can't mark this as a "Find" because I chickened out on the last few meters. The GPSr's accuracy was 4m while there, which I did not make. But at least I got a nice trip.

Photos

Hillegom station by day.
"Woonerf" sign. Haven't seen those in a while.
One of the churches in Hillegom.
A pond near the hash.
And 6m is all you're going to get. In the background a hashing-related note I was carrying with me.
Hillegom station by night, seen from above.
A spider at the train station.

Achievements

Tchakkazulu earned the Prize poultry Consolation Prize

by chickening out on the (52, 4) geohash on 2014-09-16 because he didn't feel like walking on someone's porch.
