Expedition

During our tour through Tuscany in September 2015, we noticed a nearby Geohash, just being on the neighbour hill. So we (pah and NB) took the opportunity for a quick geohashing trip. We came close to the geohash, being located in Forrottoli, a small village in the beautiful Tuscany countryside.

Google told us first to check on a road right next to the typical olive trees with a roughly 6m high wall right next to it. The first geodance was inevitably stopped by the unrelenting obstacle, leaving us at a distance of rough 8m to the hash. Already saddened by this setback, we took initial proof of our attempt and headed back to our car. But then we realized, that we could take another road, going slightly uphill to the houses belonging to the wall. Sneaking around the houses, we came into the open backyard, giving us both a beautiful view on the countryside as well as direct access to the hash! Our GPS even locking in below 0.5m distance. Yay!

To not further intrude the privacy of the house owners, we soon left after taking some additional pictures and without leaving any trace or proof behind. Back in the car, we continued exploring the beautiful Tuscany!
