To be there at 4:00 PM, the official Saturday meetup time.

Expedition

I decided to take the bike and earn the bicycle geohash achievement. The hash was only about 5 km (3 miles) from home and the ride took about 20 minutes in nice, sunny weather. I arrived on time and hung around about 20 minutes, trying to get a decent GPS fix and taking a few pictures.

It was a bit hard to get a good GPS fix, as Belteshassar mentions below, but I think I found the hashpoint.

I left home in Kungsholmen around 11 am and decided to walk in order to hatch some eggs in Pokémon Go. I followed the water until past City Hall and the Government HQ and turned left onto Regeringsgatan.

When I reached the crossing with Kungsgatan, I realised that Regeringsgatan is much higher. I then had to walk around the block.
