Location
On an open logging area in Kerolankangas, Kontiolahti.
Participants
Plans
The hashpoint is in an easily accessible place, and there is a series of night geocaches nearby. I can do a trip in the night and get a midnight geohash and find all the caches.
For those who are interested, here is the cache series on geocaching.com map: [1]. The hashpoint is inside the loop of mystery caches.
Expedition
I left from home at about 10 o'clock, so I would have ample time to find some geocaches on the way to the hashpoint. I parked my bicycle at 62.61742, 29.96916 and continued on foot. After finding the first six caches of the "Pimeä pikkujoulu" ("Dark christmas party"[1]) series, the time was about half past eleven, and I started walking towards the hashpoint. Since I had half an hour to walk 310 metres, I stopped often to take photographs of some perhaps interesting flora. The photos did not turn out great because I had to use my forehead lamp for illumination. The night was dark enough that ambient lighting (nautical twilight) was not nearly strong enough for the camera.
I reached the hashpoint at ten minutes to midnight. After walking a few circles, I ended up at a tree stump where my GPS reciever seemed to think the point was located. I marked the hashpoint by writing on the stump with a permanent marker and took some more photos at and after midnight. At about 0:10, I left and continued the cache series.
