FIRST EVER GEOHASH EXPEDITION IN HUNGARY!

Location

The hashpoint for the graticule was near Vác, between the villages called Csővár and Püspökhatvan, outside residental areas, in a valley amongst pretty slopes of wheat fields, close to a beautiful lake.

Expedition

Train journey to Vác, 15 mins hitchike to Csővár (thank you guys) plus some 30 mins hiking. Me and Tom (probably the only two geohashers in Hungary) accessed the place despite the heavy rain and returned home with soggy socks and massive amount of mud stuck to our shoes.
