Vancouver, British Columbia/Accessibility
From Geohashing
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.
