Expedition

A very easy visit on my way to work, requiring only a 25-metre detour from my usual route and a very short walk to the geohash. The location was obvious enough on the aerial image that I could reach the point without any navigational aids. It was snowing and blowing like hell, so I did not want to spend any more time there than was necessary. I do not remember how cold it was. My educated guess would be about −5 °C, and in any case it was below freezing.

The point was only about ten metres from the wall of the graveyard, and if it had been inside the walls, this would have been a Holy Hash and potentially a Coffin Potato Geohash as well. Also, if it had been 150–250 metres to the west-southwest, it would have been located on Rauhankatu (Peace Street), fulfilling the Tale of Two Hashes challenge of 2012-02-17 49 9. I missed it previously on 2021-05-18 too.
