*So, our vacations took longer than expected... I'm finally updating this page with a bit more story. This was the first day of our week-long road trip from Paris to the Loire castles (Chambord, Amboise, Chinon, Fontevraud...) and the Brittany coasts. Out of habit I had checked the geohash along our road for this day, and found it to be very close to our first destination, Chambord. We really didn't need to make a detour to be a few kilometers away from the geohash :) -- [[User:Dunaril|Dunaril]] 00:19, 20 August 2013 (CEST)

After a very nice visit of Chambord, we went to Saint-Dyé-sur-Loire for a picnic on the Loire shore and passed close to the geohash. Once filled we went back on our tracks and used Maps to get a visual of the target field and decide how to get there. The hash was in an open field close to a little forest and a few modern houses, and so after parking along the closest road we followed a little trail between the forest and the gardens (nobody seemed to notice or pay attention to us).

Expedition

Looks like they made it

We did, thanks for updating this page!

After a very nice visit of Chambord, we went to Saint-Dyé-sur-Loire for a picnic on the Loire shore and passed close to the geohash. Once filled we went back on our tracks and used Maps to get a visual of the target field and decide how to get there. The hash was in an open field close to a little forest and a few modern houses, and so after parking along the closest road we followed a little trail between the forest and the gardens (nobody seemed to notice or pay attention to us).

Once at the edge of the field we used my phone's GPS to walk to the exact spot and minimize the distance over the field itself. We took a picture and went back to the car and road trip.

This wasn't a very exciting hash, but we deflowered the Orleans graticule :)
