Can you upload any pictures from this expedition? -- Jevanyn (talk) 12:30, 19 December 2013 (EST)

Sorry, forgot. I'll check if I still have any of those around.
Oh, and before anyone asks, I won't be going on tomorrow's geohash (2013-12-21); while it's the closest in, IIRC, over a week, it's still right on the opposite edge of the city.
Coincidentally, what do you think about my "graticule names" page, and do you have any comments? --January First-of-May (talk) 11:50, 20 December 2013 (EST)

Tomorrow's globalhash is only a few graticules away from you. It looks like it is on a path, so it should be accessible if you are able to travel there. --Fippe (talk) 13:43, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

It looks extremely reachable, but I'm not really enough of a random-adventurer to drive away to Tula Oblast on short notice (don't even have a car), and the extremely nearby railway station apparently doesn't serve passenger trains at the moment OK, it might (I'll try to work out a theoretical schedule), but still not going there on my one free day in Moscow. It will probably be a nice one to do as a retro, though (possibly the nicest retro global anywhere near Moscow).
I'll contact the other two geohashers in the Moscow area that I know of, but I doubt they could get there either. --January First-of-May (talk) 21:13, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Checked the schedules. A theoretical globalhasher starting in Moscow would have to:

• Take the 11:15 bus to Yefremov;
• Be stuck in Yefremov for about two hours;
• Take the 16:50 train to Tovarkovo;
• Be stuck in Tovarkovo (and the hash area) for another two hours;
• Take the 21:30 train to Yefremov;
• Be stuck in Yefremov for about two hours again;
• Take the 01:30 bus and be in Moscow at 5 in the morning.

There are faster routes, but they seem to depend on buses I couldn't find good data for, and/or long-distance trains that might not have enough places on that short notice. --January First-of-May (talk) 21:44, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
