Location

In the southwestern part of Toulouse, near Université Toulouse 2.

Participants

Epingchris

Plans

The first time since I started geohashing that the hashpoint actually falls inside the Toulouse metropolitan area: it's in the outskirts, but still pretty reachable by bike, so I hope to be able to achieve No Batteries, Bike and Tron achievements all in one go.

Expedition

I had another bike ride earlier on that day with a group of friends, so I only set out to do the geohash at around 3 pm. I got to the Arènes metro station by memory, and then consulted the map that I had printed to get to the street where the hashpoint is supposed to be at, despite one treacherous roundabout that did not provide the exit that I wished to take.

Unfortunately, it turns out that the hashpoint was right in the middle of a house instead of at the roadside, and I was still a good 12 m away from it even if I stood at the door. I doubted that they would be forthcoming enough to let a complete stranger in for an unknown, so I had to declare forfeit. It was so close though!
