Plans

Considering the ease of the location and the fact that the hashpoint was forecast on http://gh.eupeodes.nl/ several days in advance, I decided to use the opportunity to pick up a few bonus achievements, such as Speed Racer, Tron and No Batteries. Unfortunately, Nofu was not in the area, so he could not partake in the gratuitous ribbon-getting.

I planned out my route of attack beforehand on Google Maps (Fig. 1), wrote it in my water-logged red notebook, scanned the hashpoint on Google Streetview, and set out.

Expedition

Everything went exactly as planned. Got to see some of Thomas More College on the way. The half-hour drive actually made for a nice study break.
