Location
On the steep slope of a hill, behind a barbwire fence, in an area with no mobile network coverage.
Participants
Plans
The geohash was close to the large reservoir Embalse del Borguillo, which has very nice beaches. The beaches in the Sun and the blue and green of the water have kind of a Caribbean touch. I had visited the reservoir a couple of times and I had passed by it on the way back from expedition 2021-06-06_40_-4, but I did not stop and take photos. So this time, the plan was to first reach the geohash, which seemed to be located only a few hundred meters from a road, and stop at the reservoir on the way back to take some photos there.
Expedition
The weather was not particularly nice, with temperatures peaking at 12°C in the afternoon and mostly overcast skies. When I passed by the reservoir on the way to the geohash, I noticed that the water level was very low and with the overcast skies it did not really show its Caribbean side. Approaching the geohash, I could conveniently park the Goldwing by the side of the road near the point closest to the geohash. So far, so good.
But when I got out the mobile to have the final approach guided by the Droid, I got the message that I have no internet connection. Indeed, there was no mobile network coverage. This had never before happened to me in Spain. The Droid does only need the GPS to get its position, but it needs internet access to get the location of today's geohash. In my navigation device mounted on the Goldwing, I had entered the the location on the road closest to the geohash,
Anyway, I had a rough idea of the direction to the geohash. I checked out a path leading to a gate. The gate was not seriously locked and I might have been able to open it, however
