Location

By a gravel road near Hoakananmaa, Haparanda.

The point on a topographic map: [1]

Participants

Plans

Thinking of going to Haparanda by bus and cycling the rest (roughly 15 km one way). Should be easily doable, though substantial rain has been predicted for the day.

Expedition

Me and my girlfriend took a bus from Oulu to Haparanda, and the returning bus would leave three and a half hours later. I brought my mountain bike and went cycling while my girlfriend stayed to shop at IKEA. My trip to the geohash would take about two hours.

Off I went. I had brought rain overalls in case it would begin to rain, but the forecasted rainfall decreased during the forenoon, and ultimately I did not get a single drop of rain. It was partly cloudy and warm enough that I would have welcomed an occasional cooling shower. The gravel road was not very good at all but easy enough to traverse with the mountain bike. There were lots of mushrooms and berries in the forests, and I saw several parked cars of foragers.

The hashpoint was indeed only about 20 metres off the road. The forest was surprisingly sparse there: it looked more like an opening or a semi-open line for forestry vehicles. I could continue cycling after taking a few photos. I took a shortcut to Vuono, a small village where I found a geocache, and found my way back to the city and IKEA. We finished the shopping together and left for Oulu in the returning bus.

Tracklog

The tracklog only includes the parts near Haparanda, not the whole bus trip.
