Expedition

I took the bus from Lyon to Lozanne, crossed the Azergues river and started hiking through the foothills of the Beaujolais region. A footpath led me to Saint-Pierre, a hamlet near Morancé, and to the geohash. The coordinates were located in a hedge, at the foot of a small hill. I reached them at 14:41.

After recording proof a taking a small detour to discover a nearby geocache, I resumed my walk along the footpath. After a few kilometers, I left the trail and the hills, crossed a golf course, and rejoined the river. I arrived at Anse just in time to catch the 16:40 train to Lyon.
