Expedition
This hash came up during my trip to Sweden. I had stayed in Falun the previous night and was planning to drive to the North, so I could hopefully pick up this hashpoint along the way.
I parked my car by the side of the road closest to the hash. According to the maps on my GPS, the hash was located next to an abandoned railway line. This turned out to be just a footpath through the forest, although there were historical markers explaining how there used to be a railway there. In fact there were still some actual artifacts, such as an old transformer building and some remains of construction work in the forest. I still had to squeeze myself through some thick bushes growing by the side of the road and avoid an onslaught of flying insects, but eventually I reached the point without major incidents. Took some pictures and went back to the car.

Parked here, and walked the remaining 500m or so.
The transformer building, apparently used for the railway.
Inside it's all smashed up electrical equipment.
The former railway.
An ant-hill by the side of the footpath. Lots of them around here.
The hash is straight ahead from here.
We've arrived!

A hashbucket. Left over from the railway days perhaps?
