Expedition

The geohash was directly next to the motorway A-5. It was in the middle of what looked like an unplanted field in the Maps, but in this season, some precious crops might live there, so I was not sure if I actually could reach it.

It was a good one hour motorcycle ride, so I was inclined to take the comfortable old Goldwing, however, very close to the geohash was a large gas station which provided parking space even for many trucks. I had lamented before about the troubles of getting my big and heavy motorcycle called Wendy parked, but it would never again be as easy as here, so I finally took Wendy for the trip.

The whole ride was over well-developed comfortable roads. The part between San Martín de Valdeiglesias and Almorox was very nice, sweeping curves through gentle hills. Closer to Maqueda, it became a little bit boring, with the road being mostly absolutely straight, not to speak about the final part on the four lane motorway A-5.

With Wendy missing any holder for the navigation system, I had once more to remember the route, but I could find the right exit and parked at the gas station as planned. It was only a five minutes walk to the field which hosted the geohash, and it was all stubble, so no problem to enter it.

It was again a hot day (which had hold for all days since a couple of weeks here in central Spain), so I bought a cold soft drink at the gas station, enjoyed it sat down in the shadow, and rode home.
