Location

This Geohash is located in a forest between Gündlikon and Buch.

Participants

Plans

going there in my free afternoon if there's left enough time.

Expedition

This geohash seemed doable. But is there enough time for that? I have to finish the building application for my parents and other errands...

When everything was settled, I looked at the times on Google Maps and thought: it could be tight, but if the terrain is good on site it will be enough.

So overall it was a quick thing, but the location at the coordinates was wonderful. 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back after the visit by car.

In between, I entered another world through the thicket at the edge of the forest. Lush green everywhere and slightly sloping terrain... ...but it got steeper and steeper and I saw a stream below that apparently had to be crossed! I passed a fox hole and luckily it had some logged wood that I could use as a bridge.

Over there it was a steep climb again to the coordinates. Everything looked simpler in the aerial photo... But the location was very nice! There should actually be a geocache here. I took a quick breather, then took my photos and then I had to go back. Time was running out. -> Speedrun

It was worth it! Success!
