Location

In a heather field somewhere on Glassamucky Breaks south of Dublin.

Participants

Plans

Fly to Ireland, get a rental car, drive around and see what's possible.

Expedition

Thanks to the 30°W Rule, we had already noticed the Geo-# location the day before we left for Ireland and decided to at least give it a go if the conditions would be favorable. The hash was close to our indented route after all. Thankfully, our flight went as scheduled and getting the rental car as well as supplies was without issues.

Driving on the objectively wrong side of the road needed some getting used to, but we managed to safely get around Dublin and as soon as we entered the more rural areas it quickly stopped to matter since the roads where just narrowly bigger than our car anyways.

We found an overtaking spot near the hash and parked there, greeted by some very well-behaved sheep. We then walked uphill through thick heather-like plants for about 100m before we reached the location. Luckily our initial fears of wet plants or hard to notice holes in the ground were unfounded and we made quick and dry progress.

Right after we had reached the hash and returned to our car, a very heavy rainstorm approached out of nowhere! However our timing was perfect and what would otherwise definitively have been a drowned rat geohash was only a "drive very slowly and carefully" adventure.

Shortly afterwards the rain was gone as quickly as it came and we continued our trip through this magnificently beautiful landscape.
