Location

In a forest in Reijola, Pyhäselkä.

The point on a topographic map: [1]

Participants

Expedition

Finally, a hashpoint in an accessible enough place on a time when I could actually go geohashing. I could cycle here after work and reach the point before sunset at 17:12 so I would be able to take pictures. The weather would be pretty nice: about 3 °C, cloudy and very humid, something between mist and rain.

So I left from work after 4 pm. I made my way though the suburbs to the old highway which led to Reijola. There I parked the bicycle at a bus stop and needed to walk only 80 metres to the hashpoint. Surprisingly, there was a wide trail leading in the right direction, and the hashpoint happened to lie right on the trail. It was nothing very special though, just some plain old dried and forested bog. I took some pictures and began the journey back home.

On the way back I quickly visited a grocery store. I considered sending a hashcard, but apparently the store only sold Father's Day cards (In Finland, Father's Day is in November), Christmas cards and general greeting cards, so I did not get one. After half past five, it started to get seriously dark, but the roads were all lit, so it was no problem. I was back at home at about quarter past six.

According to the GPS receiver, the distance of the trip (from workplace to hashpoint to home) was 25.0 km, of which I cycled 24.7 km and walked 0.3 km.
