Location

In the middle of the Tiber, just upstream of the Ponte Giuseppe Mazzini

Participants

Right now only me, Jezza (talk), but for the first time ever I plan to be on the bridge or on the cycle path even nearer the geohash, at 4pm.

Plans

I will take the opportunity to go for a bicycle ride along the river and will be at the geohash or on the bridge at 16:00

Expedition

I got on my bike, rode for about 5 minutes to the lighthouse on the Janiculum hill, where I took a photo. Then down the hill and along the river for a few minutes to the Ponte Mazzini. I checked my location and decided I could get even closer by going down the perilous staircase to the cycle path along the edge of the Tiber. Got as close as I could to the geohash in the middle of the river and snapped a picture of the bicycle. Then treated myself to a longer ride along the cycle path to a spot where I could fold up the bike and let a bus take me home.

• 

  A view from near the lighthouse on the Janiculum hill, looking down towards the river Tiber, where the geohash is obscured by the trees in the foreground.

• 

  Screenshot of my location relative to the geohash. I should note that I was not actually in the water, but at the edge.

• 

  My Brompton half folded and on the edge of the river, roughly opposite the geohash, in the middle of the stream.

• 

  A map of the route, all 5km of it (on the bicycle). You can see where I loitered near the geohash and, perhaps, where I waited for a bus up the hill.
