Plans

The plan was to do a multihash, of the 6 closest graticules to Stockholm, Sweden. For once the Nynäshamn geohash was not in the Baltic ocean and the Norrköping one was close to Stockholm, and while I already was driving might as well do one more west, then go north and try to do 3 on the way back, Fagersta, Sala and east of Arlanda airport.

I reached these 4 of my planned graticules.

Expedition

You can check my route here.

Got into the car and drove south. Stopped for gas first since the plan was to do more than 600 km. Then south on the 73 towards Nynäshamn. I stopped at Biltema to get a car lighter splitter and a usb outlet for 12V so I could have the phone plugged in and on all the time. Also got a flashlight.

Onwards towards Nynäshamn and then take a right at the correct exit. Found the field, which was frozen and very featureless took some pictures but I had nothing to mark with. Should have bought some paint or something.

Then onto the next geohash! 2012-01-13 58 16
