Location

Close to a road near Våxtorp, south of Laholm, Halland, Sweden.

Participants

Plans

The geohash was near the main road we were about to travel to get to a possible MEGA geocaching event on Tjörn. So why not drive by?

Expedition

It had been raining but seemed to clear up, but just before we came to the geohash spot, it started to pour down again. That's why the pictures are a bit blurry, since there was not much light, even if it was mid day.

On the internet map, it looked like a real road, but on the GPS it was only a path. Luckily the road/path had been used to access a sandpit, and wasn't muddy but well packed sand and was easily accessed with the car (luckily since it rained heavily).

We tried to get a GPS position inside the car, but had to step out when it was less rainy to get a good lock on the satellites first. Speed racer achievement on this road was just above 0 km/h. Just took some photos and had to leave to get to the MEGA geocaching event in time.
