Location
In the wilds, close to a path near Navas del Rey.
Participants
Plans
The weekend geohashes 2021-07-24 and 2021-07-25 were both in a southern part of my home graticule where I already had been hashing a couple of times. The geohash on Monday, 2021-07-26, however, looked interesting. It was very close to my home base but nevertheless in an area which I did not know. I was planning to do it on Monday during lunch break.
I saw on the Maps that there is a reservoir which I did not know a few kilometers from the geohash. On Monday, I would not have enough time to explore it. Therefore, I decided to go on Saturday to already check out Monday's geohash and to look for pathways to the reservoir. I did not know the condition of the roads and paths, so I took the lightest of my running motorcycles, die Krähe.
I easily reached Monday's geohash on Saturday. It was just a 15 minutes ride and then 500 meters walk. I took some photos, also on the way back. I arranged them here in the sequence of approaching the geohash. On Monday, I plan to be there at 12:00 or a little bit later.
To find the reservoir was more difficult. It required quite a walk around some fenced area. A couple of times I was about to give up, but finally I found it, looking down on it from a hill. I took a photo from the distance, but could not get close to it. Later, in expedition 2021-09-04_40_-4, I found a direct access.
Expedition
On Monday, I left home at about 12:00. It was not yet that hot, a comfortable 24°C. I had already explored roads and parking space on Saturday, so I now took heavyweight Wendy.
When walking the last bit after a nice 15 minutes ride, I took quite a distant picture of the air navigation antenna I had already captured from close on Saturday. On Wendy, I only have a small tank bag, so I did not bring the photo case with the tele lens.
I was at the geohash at about 12:20. I easily found the marking I had put on the Saturday exploration. So I tag this as “Expedition without GPS”. However, this would probablyh not qualify for the No Batteries Achievement, as I used GPS to originally find the point on Saturday.
Was back home at 12:45. Nice lunch break.
Tracklog
Photos
Antenna of the regional directorate of air navigation.
Lots of landscape.
🤔
From here on I walk.
Nice views while walking towards the (future) geohash.
I put the two stones on the point to mark it for when I return the day after tomorrow.
Looking straight up.
View from the geohash; looks like a quiet neighbourhood.
Looking back the path I came. The geohash is (will be) one meter left of the center tree.
The search for the reservoir seemed to end here…
… but there was a path around the fenced area.
Finally found the reservoir after a long walk, but the descent looked dangerous, so no direct access from here. Later, in expedition 2021-09-04_40_-4, I found a direct access.
On Monday, I returned to the now valid geohash with Wendy.
While walking the last 500 meters, I noticed that I have a distant view on the antenna that I had captured from close on Saturday.
At the marking I had put on Saturday.
Back at the bike.
