Location
On a field between Bogunów and Polakowice, 10km south of Wrocław.
Participants
Expedition
On a beautiful sunny Sunday ("sunny Sunday", hehe) I left home in early afternoon with everything I needed to make it yet another successful geohashing attempt: my bike, my camera and my GPS. It only turned out later that two of those three things failed (only partially though).
Initially I planned on following the banks of Ślęza river from my home to Bogunów but after few km there were no more tracks to follow. I resorted to using normal roads and just then found that my cyclocomputer (or whatever English speakers call it, I just found the name on wikipedia) had gone broke, probably batteries were down. So, I would have no idea how far from home I am ;). Nevertheless I kept going, passed a few villages (Ślęza, Karwiany, Suchy Dwór, Żórawina, Żerniki Wielkie), riding mostly on paved roads. In Bogunów I turned on my GPS to check where exactly I should turn from the road to find the hashpoint and noticed that its batteries were getting low as well. I turned it off and hurried up through fields, having my butt bumped heavily on a field way. Past the railway, around the forest and it should be somewhere here. I took my GPS out again and followed its directions. When I was almost on the spot I switched the display to show me current coordinates and *puff*.
It was dead. Thus I don't have a proof of reaching coordinates. I even cannot be 100% sure that I reached them, however the green arrow was just over the checkered flag when I attempted to read out actual coordinates, so I'm pretty sure I made it. I just hope the panorama I took will suffice as a proof. I think that's enough for Coordinates reached, but I'm not gonna claim any achievements until somebody confirms it.
I then continued through fields to Polakowice and then straight north to Wrocław, back home.
