I'm planning to go there after work, since it's Geohashing Day. -- Per S

Expedition

Per S

I went there in a Volvo C30 after work. I tried to make the Tron achievement by planning my route carefully, but I failed. After parking the car, I went the wrong direction and had to intersect my own path to get back to the car. I also went into a dead end while driving back, just to make sure there was no chance of claiming the Tron achievement.

The hash point was in a field (as usual :). It was a beautiful place close to the water and the evening sun lit up the fields nicely. I had to pass several electric fences to get to the hash point, but there were no animals in the fields, so I don't think the fences were turned on.

I had talked to Cjk earlier and knew he was also going, so I built a little cairn to mark the spot. I also put up a poster on a tree stump close by.
