Expedition

The Algorithm was generous to me today and came up with hashpoint that seemed quite doable (only about 50 meters from the road) and "only" 90 kilometers from my home location. And as additional bonus, it was located in virgin graticule that will also give me Minesweeper Geohash achievement. Obviously, I just had to go on expedition and try to reach this hashpoint.

I took A4 motorway to Ludbreg exit and from there I proceeded on D2 road towards west. My initial plan was to approach hashpoint from east so I left D2 in Bartolovec, a small settlement in Varazdin County with about 780 inhabitants. Local road in Bartolovec quickly turned into dirt road and abruptly ended with tree that somebody placed in the middle of the road creating barricade, no idea why.

I turned back and decided to try to approach hashpoint from the west, from Trnovec Bartolovecki. So, I returned back to D2 road and drove to Trnovec Bartolovecki and tried my luck with another set of local roads. After short drive through the settlement, the local road again turned to dirt road, and then to dirt "road". I pondered few times to stop my car and continue on foot but quickly decided that road is not that bad. While driving on that "road" I remembered relet's remark about blind monkey and Google Maps.

I managed to park car some 30 meters form the hashpoint. From there I entered the forest, and after some 30 meters Geohashing app informed me that I arrived to the ground zero. I took screenshots and pictures to prove my visit and then I returned to my car, drove through the dirt "road" again, back to D2 and A4 and after some 90 kilometers in opposite direction I arrived home, happy that I reached another geohash.
