Location

On the shore of Lake Léman, between Cully and Epesses.

Participants

Plans

Take the train to Cully and then walk to the geohash.

Expedition

Reached the geohash surroundings without problems. However, I failed to precisely localize the hash due to my bad GPS cellphone. It kept telling me I was in the lake although I was pretty sure I stayed on the ground. Even so, I should have been very close to the destination based on satellite maps.

Photos

I'm sure to have stayed on the ground...
The geohash should have been close to these stones based on satellite maps.
View of the Lake Léman.

Achievements

Nohled earned the Blinded by Science Consolation Prize

by failing to reach the (46, 6) geohash on 2011-08-20 due to a bad GPS cellphone.
