Expedition

This was a nice point that would be well accessible with a little cycling and walking despite the wintry conditions. I stayed at my girlfriend's place, and I did not have the GPS receiver with me, so I downloaded Geohash Droid and gave it a go. We cycled through the city to highway 74 and stopped near the hashpoint. I walked the last 90 metres to visit the point while my girlfriend waited at the roadside. Nothing really interesting happened at any point.

I did not have GPS tracking on, but using the map I estimated that I had cycled about 19.9 kilometres and walked about 190 metres. I also did not have a thermometer, but the weather forecasts I looked at showed a temperature of −5 °C which felt more like −10 °C with wind. That it pretty much how I felt too. I will have a look at this day's weather statistics tomorrow when they are published.
