Location

Next to the traffic control tower of Teso (the ferry between Texel and the mainland) on Texel

Participants

• Eupeodes (who lives ~400 meter from the hash point)

Plans

Eupeodes: Go there somewhere during the day. Since I live and work within a kilometer from the hash I can adjust my plans (as far as my work agenda permits) to accommodate meetups

Expedition

After coming home from work I first had to fix some stuff on my server (the server that also hosts geohashing.info) because I managed to accidentally remove all Lets Encrypt certificates from the machine.

After that I set out for the hash, I intended for the Tron achievement so I manually started the exercise on my Fitbit and started walking. Since the ferry from the mainland had just arrived I had to wait a bit at the traffic lights before I got the green light to cross the main road. A minute later or so I decided it was time to get the phone out and set it to navigating to the hash. Since I had done my homework I knew where I needed to be and I could just walk to the hash. After taking a couple of pictures I continued my trip towards home again. I decided to check if the geocache I could see from hash was still there so I took a bit of a detour (still taking care not to cross my own tracks). After the last bit of walking I stopped the exercise on the Fitbit and found that for some reason the gps track was not complete (at all). It did record distance and indicated 1.81 kilometers (which I think is about right with the detour I have to take around the waiting area for the ferry.
