Location

In a forested area along Canberra Road, just 1.4km from my house

Participants

Expedition

I had forgotten to check the day's coordinates earlier, and only remembered to just before I left for a day trip around Johor Baru with my family. Seeing that it was basically within walking distance (or a really quick bus ride), and it had been so long since I last went on a geohash attempt... I was a little put off by the forest surrounding the hash, though. My brother told me that there was a construction site in the field near the hashpoint, and I'd be able to get there by just skirting around the fence. Satisfied with that plan, I told my parents I'd catch up with them at JB Sentral later.

Took bus 856 from my house and alighted just after Assyafaah Mosque. It didn't look like I could go around it as planned, so I walked further down to see if I could climb over the railing beside the road into the forested area. As I followed my phone GPS, I realised that the geohash was pretty much impossible to get to unless I fancied crossing a small stream and whacking my way through some dense foliage. Possibly encountering pythons in the grass, too. I didn't have time to try and perhaps find an easier route to it, so I gave up and took another 856 to Woodlands Checkpoint.

Photos

Construction site near hashpoint, but that wasn't the problem...
...this was.
Closest I could get.
