Location
In the middle of nowhere, off the E18 towards Oslo, 450 meters a from logging road, beyond a swamp.
Participants
Plans
I was already driving from Stockholm to Fiskebäckskil so why not take a detour and geohash along the way. If I go north of the largest lake in Sweden, Vänern I could deflower a Virgin Graticule.
Expedition
Packed the car and drove out from Stockholm, turned towards Örebro in Södertälje, and towards Karlstad in Örebro. A lot of vacation traffic with motor homes and caravans. Got some burgers in Karlstad.
- In Karlstad -- Cjk @59.3834,13.4762 18:46, 27 July 2012 (CEST)
Continued on the E18 towards Oslo and got off the "highway" at the right spot, onto a narrow road, then a gravel road and then a logging road. Stopped the car at the mininum distance to the hash. I jumped over a ditch and started making my way through what turned out to be a swamp. I turned back after like 7 m and tried to jump over the ditch to find a dry route around the swamp, but the rotten logs covered in moss gaveme no footing at all and I landed in the ditch with water up to my calves.
Fuck it, already wet, lets cross this swamp. Hiked up a hill along a logging road and ate some blueberries to get my mind off my soaking Converse. Crossed a few clearings that I had seen on google maps and found the hash which was locaded in a clearing on the side of asmall hill. Snapped some picks and painted the moss.
- Damn swamp, feet wet, deflowered -- Cjk @59.2911,12.6300 19:41, 27 July 2012 (CEST)
Started heading back to the car and realized just how wet this "summer" has been in sweden when the moss gave way and I started sliding down the hill.
Ate some common wood-sorrel, or 'harsyra', on the way back.
Found the dry route I should have taken and got backto my car. Removed shoes and socks and donned pink flip-flops. Headed back to the E45 and drove the rest of the way towards Fiskebäckskil. By the last turn off point a wanker in a SUV headed straight for me in my lane on the wrong side of an aboutment. Total tosser.
