Location
Amsterdam, Sarphatistraat at the back of Artis Zoo. Not sure if it's on the sidewalk or inside a house.
Participants
- Palmpje visited the hashpoint after work.
Plans
Leave work a bit early, take subway and tram to the Muiderpoort, walk about 200m to the hashpoint and hope it's on the sidewalk. Then visit nearest geocache at 130m distance.
Expedition
Everything went as planned. But was the hashpoint reached? It is hard to decide as I could not get a very good fix on the GPS. Best uncertainty distance I got on camera was 7m but it was more like 14m all the time with the tall buildings nearby. But I did see a distance of 1m to the hash with uncertainty 4m so I claim it reached. On Google maps you can't see if the point is on the sidewalk, streetview puts it right in the middle of it. So... success! Because I went after work I was in my suit and tie, I only thought about the picture on the tram to the train station. I won't claim public transport because part of my commute is by car.
And of course the nearest geocache was logged. Only 130m away so honourable mention on the collision. Placing it back caused me to miss a tram (it was very busy) and therefore my train so I got home half an hour later than normal.
