Participants

• Mennoowh
• Wouter

Plans

Mennoowh will try to go there and take 1 or 2 accomplices. I'll probably try to get Openstreetmap, Geotrashing and Hash collision achievements.

Expedition

Well, I (Mennoowh) speedcycled towards the Hash, with Wouter arriving within a minute of me. Quite an achievement for living some 25 km apart I'd say. The library was open, so we were able to go on the parking lot (it would probably have been closed otherwise) and parked our bicycles at the hashpoint. There was no litter to speak of, so Geotrashing was out. I forgot about the Openstreetmap. However we did check out the nearest geocaches, and there was one at only 160 m (amongst some 10 others also within 1 km). Unfortunately not within sight from the hash location, but near enough to have us achieve an honourable mention. A banana was had, and then we parted ways.
