This graticule, with coordinates 51, 3 contains the cities of Ghent, Bruges and Terneuzen. It covers the north-western part of Oost-Vlaanderen, the north-eastern part of West-Vlaanderen and the western part of Zeeland. Some of its area is in the North Sea.

About 50% of the graticule is unreachable because it's either sea or river.

Sea suggestion

This graticule has the problem that quite a large part of it is unreachable because of the sea. If the geohashed location turns out to be in the sea (the chance of this is not negligible), can I suggest that maybe the geohashed location of the east-side neighbours be used as back-up? The official policy is postponing the meet-up (but that would happen too often); or alternatively, renting a boat (but that might be costly).

May 24th meeting

  • FrederikVds and a friend (living in Ghent) will visit the place next Saturday if it's nearby. We might go a little farther away if someone confirms they will also be there. We would go for having a party and will bring music in a 5km radius from Western Ghent.
