Plans
It is very rare that a geohash lands inside Paris. We plan to arrive here around 4pm. If other people are interested and would prefer to meet at another time, let us know here!
Expedition
We made it, but it took longer than planned and we didn't arrive at the hash before 5pm. Given the good weather, we wanted to make the trip by bike, and to make it funnier we went for the Tron achievement.
Paris has a very cool bicycle sharing system, called Vélib. We had a 24 hours pass and could rent a bike at any of the hundreds of stations throughout Paris. We started with a south-east trajectory, just to get a bike and let the way open and Tron-compliant for our journey back. Then we circled around our neighborhood and got to the Panthéon.
Tracklog
Here is the link to the GPS track log. Vélib is very cool, but we had to make checkpoints at the stations every 30 minutes. This reflects on the track, as we had to stop and wait five minutes each time before picking up a new bike, and the Wi-Fi tracking would make us wander all over the place. Same for all the photo stops, and the stop at the hashpoint.
