Vancouver, British Columbia/Accessibility

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. Ferry times are not included in water figures but are taken account of in total times.

From last, is the distance from the previous location, were I doing the endurance geohash. Such distance does not allow for getting to and from a safe place to camp between geohashes.

The last column "Excuse" is why I did not attempt/reach the geohash. Or "None needed!" if I got there.
