About
The location is in Island of Ruissalo just in front of the city. Ruissalo is famous for it's oak woods! Successfully reached by Suurnesu.
Expedition
I have been waiting for a while for the hash point to arrive at a decent distance. Today I noticed that the point fell to the Island of Ruissalo which is one of my favorite places. I had to leave the office do some shopping for my work and I decided to check this place too.
I tried to approach the hash point using a road but it came too close to private property. I chose another approach from the woods and this was a good choice. The point fell at the very border of a "mansion", so I took some pictures and left. I did some OpenStreetMapping while I was there and enjoyed the nature. There is an Aura Golf Course very close, a nature trail and a bat cellar(?!).
This was the first geohash for me AND for the graticule!
Photos
The was a bat cellar near the hash point. This also the starting point of a geocache "Lepakkokellari".
Ye Olde Outhouse some 20 meters from the point.
View towards Aura Golf
View from the zero point towards Mansion
This happy Suurnesu after the first successful geohash. You can almost see my GPS in the picture!
