Location
In a harvested field (yet again), a few kilometers from Méntrida.

Expedition
This one was relatively close and somehow balanced — half an hour motorcycle ride and then half an hour walk. The fact that it was close brought with it that I already knew the region and the route leading there (and I would return to visit a geohash nearby in expedition 2021-12-10_40_-4). However, I knew the roads to be nice, winding through hilly terrain, with little traffic, at times a few bumps, but the well-sprung Goldwing would float over them.
Now that I'm doing an expedition almost every weekend, I noticed that I ride more and I wrench less. This may have contributed to the fact that two motorcycles are currently not running. One of them is Wendy, which I took also on a couple of expeditions (2021-06-27_40_-3, 2021-07-17_40_-3, 2021-07-18_40_-4, 2021-07-26_40_-4, 2021-08-15_40_-4). Anyway, all other vehicles are running, so I still have some backup, which is reassuring in this tiny village with almost no connection to public transport.

No parking problems with the Goldwing.
The unpaved road is in fact not too bad, but if somewhere is just a bit deeper sand, it can really become a pain with the heavy Goldwing. And I do actually enjoy the walk.
The geohash is in this direction, but fortunately (“PERROS PELIGROSOS”) still 1.6 km away, far beyond this fenced property, and the path leads around it.
Here I have to leave the path, 240 meters into the field.
Here it is…
… where I put the mobile on the ground. I walk up the small hill in the back…
… for another view.
Whenever I hear dogs barking, I'm a little bit afraid that people might get suspicious about me walking around and free the dogs, but it looks like it is strictly forbidden to have dogs running free on hunting grounds, and almost everything here is declared hunting ground.
Back at the Goldwing for a sunny late afternoon ride home.
