This is a project to show the difficulty of geohashing in Vancouver. All distances are one-way from Robyn's house, in roughly the middle of Vancouver. Driving times are from Google Maps. Cycling times allow 20 km/h. Walking allows 8 km/h on good trails ranging down to 400 m in an hour in dense bush with poor footing. Kayaking is 5 km/h, which accepts that we aren't very good at kayaking and includes an allowance for launching.

| Go all the way around by road/trail (requires fording Squamish River) | 71.5 km | 300 m | 15 km | 3 h 45 | ||
| 2009-04-01 | In the water at the north edge of Howe Sound just northeast of Woodfibre and only a few kilometres from yesterday's location. | Drive to north of Britannia Beach, then kayak across | 64.7 km | 3 km | 1 h 55 |
