Expedition made by Paul

I wasn't planning on going but saw that the location was within cycling range and decided to go biking to the location. Equiped with water, a map and a backlog of Security Now podcasts on my iPod (which kept rambling about Yubikey) I started the trip at about 14:00 from Geldrop

The hashpoint was in the middle of a farmfield near a line of trees. I ventured through an empty grassfield and got to within 15 meters of the hashpoint

Total Expedition Odometry: 62680m

• Pictures
• 

  Going past endless fields of farm at around 20kmh

• 

  The route brought me past the geohash of 9 days ago by accident

• 

  A ball came over a tennisfence, people searched for it

• 

  Halfway there!

• 

  Some black sheep among white sheep

• 

  Being welcomed to Meijel, crossroads of 'de Peel'

• 

  The church of Meijel, not exactly my taste

• 

  The line of trees on the map turned out to be lush vegetation along a canal

• 

  A convenient farmroad between the canal and the farmfields led me to the hashpoint

• 

  I saw a frog on the road, I tried to take a picture of it but it came out blurry

• 

  The ditch was in an uproar of noise as I arrived, ducks quacked and frogs croaked loudly

• 

  I walked along the ditch on the empty grassland but there was another ditch between me and my destination

• 

  Got there bang on time!
