[edit] Location
Utrecht, Schepenbuurt
[edit] Participants
A friend of CO2. CO2 himself wasn't here.
[edit] Plans
CO2 saw the Hashpoint was nearby but didn't have time to go there himself. Therefore, he asked a friend to go.
[edit] Expedition
(This report was written by CO2's friend)
The Hashpoint was on the other side of town for me, so I went there by bike. In the beginning the sun was shining, but somewhere halfway it started to rain a little bit. After I arrived at the Schoenerstraat in the Schepenbuurt, the rain had stopped, so I could take some good pictures. I didn't have a GPS, so you have to believe I got there. The Schoenerstraat crossed the Tjalkstraat and there in an alleyway was the tree which was the Hashpoint. I left a note with the XKCD geohash picture and forgot to add the date, but still, it was enjoyable. I had some people staring at me like I was crazy because I was taking so much pictures of a perfectly ordinary tree in a backyard, but that was fun too.

On the way to the hashpoint...
Looking for the correct tree...
There is the right street!
It should be near the intersection with this street.
If Google Maps is correct, it should be at that tree.
Ah, an alleyway right next to the tree. Convenient!
Nice empty wall right at the hashpoint.
Let's put the Geohashing comic up. :)
Also there's a little youtube clip made around the hashpoint here.
