Expedition

After a few months of less activity on geohashing, due to having less free time, today I had a day off and granting enough, the dice of geohashing placed a geohash in a quite accessible place.

It's on the Natural Park of Sant Llorenç, which I always like to visit since there are still many many places unknown for me which I like to discover. And, yes, we're having a rather warm summer, but I expect to be done before 13h and let's hope it doesn't surpass 32-33ºC.

Train on time and the bus a few minutes late, but with no setbacks I arrived in Matadepera. Then I started walking. Where the track starts a quick pause to gather water and put sunscreen on and took of.

First I visited the "Avenc de Can Torres" (avenc means something like shaft cave or vertical cave) which was quite impressive. I had another thing in mind when I read its description, but it's stunning. You don't want to fall in there. Then I visited the Masia with the same name, Can Torres.

Then it was turn to approach the hash. Came from west, and not that much of a dance was necessary to get a good read on my GPSr. Crown on, a few pictures taken, drank water and continued my way.

After that the path was downhill. I took the opportunity to jog a little to make sure I would not miss the bus for the way back, otherwise I would have had to wait for an hour and I didn't want to.
