Seems like an [[Easy Geohash]] opportunity. I could route my way to work so that visiting this hashpoint would only be a 30-metre detour, and the route would not even be significantly longer than my usual route through the grid plan of the centrum. This is if I actually go to my workplace – we have remote working recommendation in place, but I can go there if I want to. In any case, I will go and visit the hashpoint.

It would have been even more awesome if the point had been 300 metres to the north-northeast. In that case, it would have lied on Rauhankatu (Peace Street), which would have allowed me to complete the [[A Tale of Two Hashes achievement|Tale of Two Hashes]] of [[2012-02-17 49 9]]. This street is Kirkkokatu (Church Street) which would also be a worthy location for the challenge.

Location

Kirkkokatu 37 in the city centre of Joensuu.

Participants

Plans

Seems like an Easy Geohash opportunity. I could route my way to work so that visiting this hashpoint would only be a 30-metre detour, and the route would not even be significantly longer than my usual route through the grid plan of the city centre. This is if I actually go to my workplace – we have remote working recommendation in place, but I can go there if I want to. In any case, I will go and visit the hashpoint.

It would have been even more awesome if the point had been 300 metres to the north-northeast. In that case, it would have lied on Rauhankatu (Peace Street), which would have allowed me to complete the Tale of Two Hashes of 2012-02-17 49 9. This street is Kirkkokatu (Church Street) which would also be a worthy location for the challenge.

Also, there is a church and another church building just across the streets, but the hashpoint is unfortunately on the yard of a residential building. It is not on private property (the property itself is owned by the housing cooperative), so it should be legal to enter.

Expedition

I ended up not going to the workplace, so I just visited the hashpoint from my home by bicycle. The location was easy enough that I decided to reach it without electronic navigation aids: I drew a rough map using the topographic map and the aerial image of the National Land Survey of Finland. I wrote down the distances from the footpath and from the line extending from a nearby wall of the building, which would be enough for getting to the correct spot.

I also realised that there is a bar down the street, and it would open at 14:00. The distance to the hashpoint was about 350 metres or two blocks. I did not know in advance whether there would be a line of sight between them – otherwise there would definitely be, but there are many trees growing by the street potentially blocking the view.

As expected, I had no trouble reaching the hashpoint. I took a few quick pictures of the hashpoint and also the church, the other church building (administrative building) and the street sign at the intersection. Then I tried to see the front of the bar from the vicinity of the hashpoint. I was unsuccessful, for I could see stuff between the tree trunks but not much detail that far away, so I went to the bar and looked back to the hashpoint. Standing in front of the bar, I could see the geohash site, so there was definitely a clear line of sight. It is admittedly in a grey area, but I guess that in a graticule with about 40 pubs, half of which are in the tiny centre of Joensuu, it is close enough. I went to the bar and had a glass of rosé.

I will also throw in A Tale of Two Hashes challenge: reach a geohash in a place named Kirkkokatu or the equivalent in another language (Church Street, Kirchenstraße, Rue de l'Église, etc.). I will happily accept any synonym of "street" too.
