The Expedition

Around three in the afternoon Eupeodes decided to go for this hash which seemed to be an easy one close to home. When he got there it appeared much more difficult to reach. At first he stumbled on a barbwire fence at only 200 meters from the hashpoint. At this point he considered giving up but luckily he decided to try to reach the point from the other side. This worked out and the nicest part was that the point turned out to be almost on a track which was not on the map (google); at home he found out that the track was on OpenStreetMap. He could even cycle on it (which appeared to be allowed in the whole area after he removed two walking ticks from his legs. Unfortunately a branch got stuck in his rear wheel resulting in a broken mudguard. But at least he made it to the hashpoint so now he has the Bicycle Geohash and the Land geohash achievement.
