Expedition
Since we were in the area anyway that day, we could not miss this opportunity to get the Golf geohash achievement, despite having some doubts about the reachability by looking at the aerial imagery... Unfortunately, by the time we boarded the train to Nyon it was already getting late, which meant we would be walking in the dark. The planning page was updated with an ETA.
Everything then went as planned, we walked in the dark towards the hashpoint, and found it was indeed behind the fences that can be seen on Google satellite view. Since it was already dark finding someone to ask for permission was unlikely, and in doubt we decided not to cross the fence. So we went back the same way we came, in the now completely dark woods.
Despite failing to reach the coordinates we had a nice time and enjoyed getting some fresh air.
