Location

The geohash seemed to be in a field fairly close to a tiny road in Västerhaninge.

Expedition

I got my Galaxy Nexus today so I needed to try out the Geohash Droid app of course.

I drove off the motorway and onto the tiny road off Nynäsvägen. But it turns out that that road leads to Fors Reningsverk, a waste water treatment plant, and the gate was closed. The sign just says when they lock the gate, and you can walk past it if you like. It was pitch dark, ice road, the field had been plowed so it was really hard to walk on. Found the very featureless Geohash. Took some pictures, started freezing and ran back to the car.

  Yes, it's locked. Onwards on foot into the darkness.
