User:Palmpje

Just a short placeholder for now.

I live in Noordwijkerhout, located in the 52, 4 graticule and am an addicted xkcd reader as of December 2010. I'm also an active geocacher, almost but not really addicted.

Wiki activity

I am almost daily browsing the wiki, cleaning up things, mending broken links, prodding users to fix their expeditions, etc. Why, because I like this wiki to be complete and tidy. Advanced case of... well, just me. More things to do...

Plans

None at the moment.

Expeditions

• Success @ Elswout 2020-09-20 52 4
• Another failed attempt, too long since I actually ventured out for a geohash to 2019-05-30 51 5
• Finally something doable on a day that is doable, too easy to miss this one on 2018-11-03 52 4
• After missing out on last Monday's hash (close but no time) I made it to 2017-08-14 52 4.
• Engine fixed? I made it to 2017-05-12 52 5 in an area that was visited quite often a few years ago.
• After too long, this one is likely to succeed in 2017-04-14 52 5 but it failed due to a malfunctioning car engine.
• Doomed failure for 51, 4 on 2016-10-30 51 4 as it is in the middle of a protected area.
• Finally a new success for 52, 4 even when it's in the middle of a cow pasture on 2016-08-17 52 4.
• Another one for 52, 4 that could not be reached on 2016-08-16 52 4. It looked so promising.
• No trespassing for 52, 4 on 2015-12-24 52 4. I could have known because this is water filtration area in Wassenaar.
• Reached a hash in Noordwijk (or is it Noordwijkerhout?)
• After a long pause, the 52, 4 hash on 2015-02-18 52 4 landed in Amsterdam, only 2km from my place of work. Formal attire!
• Reached the 52,4 location on 2014-07-23 52 4, it was a TRON.
• Reached the 52, 4 location on 2014-04-16 52 4 but did not keep my feet dry. But I did meet a ninja named Ellipse!
• Reached the hash for 52, 5 on 15 November, just a bit off the route for a multi-geocache 2013-11-15 52 5
• Made it to the 52, 4 location for Saturday, 14 September 2013 at hash 'o clock 2013-09-14 52 4
• A closed gate prevented me from reaching the 52, 4 location for Tuesday 3 September, 2013 2013-09-03 52 4
• There was a plan to go to the beach today, for the alternate point closest to the hash ... 2013-06-08 52 4, but aborted due to lack of time
• Reached the hash for Thursday 30 May, 2013 2013-05-30 52 4 by sneaking around the guard's back (not really trespassing)
• After a long pause, failure to reach the 52, 4 location for Sunday 28 April, 2013 2013-04-28 52 4, but achieved a non-planned meet-up with Murfie!
• Mother nature prevented me from reaching the 52, 4 location for Friday 27 July, 2012 2012-07-27 52 4
• Close, but judged as a failure to reach the 52, 4 location for Saturday 21 July, 2012 2012-07-21 52 4
• Sped through the 52, 4 location for Saturday 30 June, 2012 2012-06-30 52 4

Goals

Achieve an actual Saturday 16:00 meetup.
Create own hash calculator (why? being nerdy).
