Location

In Nijmegen, directly next to a pond, close to the Steve Bikoplein.

Participants

SomeDutchman (talk)

Plans

Just cycle to it from my home. And make some pretty pictures. And tell a bit about where it was.

Expedition

I've had push messages for geohashing since 2019, and this is the second time I've actually visited a place. (First time before the resurrection of the site...)

The push notification said: "LocalHash is 1km away, South". Sounded perfect for a after-work-cycle-trip. And it was! Directly next to a pond, and it was a good reason to go outside.

The hash location was right next to the Steve Bikoplein, named after a South African anti-apartheid activist. It's one of the French-style traffic circles which makes Nijmegen famous in the Netherlands. What makes it French-style is you having to give way to people *entering* the circle... This one is kind of chill though, as at least it has road markings, while the most famous one, Keizer Karelplein, has no road markings at all!
