Oh man, it has been almost two months without any succesful expedition for me - for different reasons, but mainly, that the hashes were too far away and if they were in my homezone, they would be in the middle of a cornfield or such... So, I got quite excited to see that todays hash seemed to be reachable and not that far away from my home. So, I decided to give it a try!

After a 20 minute drive I parked my car along the L 3249 and started to go for the hash from north.

So, after a little while, I got to the hash - this was a little tree in the middle of bushes. Took some pics for proof an than sort of walked the shortest way back to my car, hehe - not following any paths or trails, just following my intuition.

Expedition

Oh man, it has been almost two months without any succesful expedition for me - for different reasons, but mainly, that the hashes were too far away and if they were in my homezone, they would be in the middle of a cornfield or such... So, I got quite excited to see that todays hash seemed to be reachable and not that far away from my home. So, I decided to give it a try!

After a 20 minute drive I parked my car along the L 3249 and started to go for the hash from north. Since there seemed to be no real paths leading to the hash, I simply choose the shortest way, which meant to do a small climb after I had passed a huge cornfield and surprisingly I got on a path there, which led me almost directly to the hash. For the final 40 meters I would have needed a chainsaw to cut down all the vegetation, but, I tried to reach the hash by walking in a big circle around the area, and found some spots that were more or less 'easy' to go... So, after a little while, I got to the hash - this was a little tree in the middle of bushes. Took some pics for proof and then sort of walked the shortest way back to my car, hehe - not following any paths or trails, just following my intuition.

So... This will become a bad year for geohashing if I remain that unlucky with future hashes! Hope that there will be some good opportunities soon though, let's just wait and see...
