Location

Right next to Österleden outside Enköping.

If you take exit 143 from the E18, then right and left into Österleden, it is beside the road right by a rock.

Participants

Expedition

I was going to pickup my dad and stepmom at Arlanda airport anyway today so a quick geohash on the way would be nice. High speed drive towards Enköping and took exit 143 and headed onto Österleden. I had memorized the trees and rocks from google street view, turned the car around so I was heading north and found the spot. Rolled until I was on the exact latitude (a few meters) and got out and took some nice pictures. Then off to the airport.

Photos

GPS
View out the window. Compare to Street View. Pretty exact eh?
My car from spot.
Me with grin.
My first picture in a series of me at hash points with T-shirts of obscure bands. This is Battles!
