Location

Forest near Nowa Jastrząbka village (Poland), but actually in another (Subcarpathian) voivodeship, approx. 200 m from the border. The village itself is in Lesser Poland voivodeship. 1 km from DW984 road.

Participants

Zyxist (talk)

Plans

I hoped for 3 geohashes in a row during this weekend, but all Saturday locations in the neighbourhood were on private properties and I did not attempt to visit them. Luckily, I noticed that the Sunday geohash in 50,21 would be reachable from Kraków, and this would also be the first visit in a virgin graticule. I wanted to do something silly to celebrate it.

Expedition

I followed the same A4 motorway as on Friday, but travelled farther to Tarnów. There, I left the motorway, and drove to Lisia Góra village, where I turned to DW984 road. I used to travel this road frequently in the past, when the motorway was still incomplete and ended in Tarnów. From there, I had to cross two or three villages and find a nice parking spot in the forest, at the boundary of two voivodeships. I noticed that there is a gravel road that would bring me very close to the geohash. I walked it for approx. 1 km through the forest, until I left it. It was only 250 m from the destination, and it wasn't that bad. The ground was stable and covered with leaves and some wood.

Once I located the point I realized that I was very lucky. The neighbourhood was covered with several forest nurseries protected by fences to prevent animals from destroying small tress. The geohash point was only a couple of meters from such a fence, on the open and accessible ground. I took out my Virgin Graticule Special Commemorative Plaque, prepared a photo stand and made a small photo session. After spending there some time and eating a snack, I packed everything and got back to the car.

Photos

The beginning of the forest road, the sign says "Forest road" and informs that from that point, using vehicles other than bikes is prohibited.
Most of the walk was very comfortable.
Proof with the Commemorative Plaque.
Hashpoint. The plaque says: "I waseh fi(r)st!" :)
Hashpoint and the photo stand.
