Location

On a bike path along the Groenloseweg, Eibergen, Gelderland province.

Participants

Expedition

Leap Day is of course a great day to hash, despite strong winds and heavy rain. The closest achievable point was in the Enschede graticule, in a region called Achterhoek ("rear corner", referring to its position in the far east of the country). I drove there, parked the hashmobile at a supplier of farm machinery, and walked along the bike path to find the hash. It was right next to a fence. The rain had stopped and the wind was not too strong. I took the required pictures and then visited museums in Groenlo and Aalten, after which I went back west again.

Achievements

FelixTheCat (talk) earned the Leap geohash achievement 2020

by leaping to the hash point on leap day of the year 2020.
