Expedition

Piotrekoo

Using a free day at work, I decided to cycle to the geohash. In the morning, I went to a store to pick up some shoe covers because the temperatures were getting lower daily. It was 12.30 pm when I was eventually ready for departure.

I could take a route similar to the one I went to two hashes: 2023-09-08 50 16 and 2023-10-29 50 16. I went via the Tąpadła Pass to avoid repeating it for the third time. I hadn't been there on a bike before. The climb nearly killed me, but I started appreciating it as soon as I descended. I thought I would freeze to death. When I reached Świdnica, I popped into a gas station and bought a hotdog and a coffee. This 15-minute-long stop helped me a lot. From there, it was only 8 kilometres to the geohash.

The coordinates were located on a field. I recorded proof and took some photos, and when I was ready to ride on, I saw another geohasher: k4be. I wanted to visit a viewpoint in Modliszów, but we discussed another route for me as it was getting dark and I was running out of time.

It was supposed to be a quick 13 kilometres. But, most of the time, uphill. Well, it can be described in three words: Sudetic Marginal Fault. It started raining to make it even more unpleasant, so I was twice wet. I hadn't transferred the route to my bike computer, and I took the wrong path. I arrived at Wałbrzych Szczawienko a few minutes late, but my train was still waiting for a semaphore. I was at Wrocław Główny in about an hour and cycled further home.
