After putting on my XKCD t-shirt and a jacket I took my bag and my bicycle and biked the 20km to the geohash. I didn't had a map nor a GPS but I had been very close to the geohash before and I had looked at the location of the geohash at Google maps so when I came close it wouldn't be a problem. But I didn't found the correct road to get to the geohash, I wasn't far away and I knew exactly where I were. But I still couldn't find the road. There were many roads but they all seemed to stop at a house, my road should've continued after a house to the geohash. So I took another road which I knew was the wrong one and parked my bike at the end of it. I should have continued on it but it was very difficult to bike on the field I was passing so therefore no bike achievement for me this time :). After passing a field I could've continued on the next one in the same direction but I wasn't sure where I were going and I decided to make a right turn instead onto another field. I was very close to turn back to the old field and take the other way but then I saw three deers further away on the field I was standing on. I took a photo of them and then tried to get closer to get a better photo. Of course they ran away but when I followed them I passed some trees on the field and suddenly I saw something I recognized. This time it wasn't from above but it was surely the same area as I had seen earlier in Google maps. Thank you deers(wonder if this counts as "Beast of burden geohash achievement" :P). I went to the place where the geohash would be. I used my compass and some notes I had made earlier to take me to the geohash.
