Floffe

The hash was located in Fole, 2km south-south-east of the church. Aerial photography revealed it as located just outside a clearing off the fields. Since this was quite close to the bus route home from work, I decided to get off the regular bus, walk to the hash and back, and then hop on the next bus. Sunset was right around the time that I got off the bus, so to be on the safe side I decided to bring a reflecting vest for walking on the road. Luckily it was light enough to find my way to the hash, particularly with the 10-15cm of snow on the ground, but on the way back dark fell pretty quickly. On the walk back the vest turned out to be a good idea, as there was quite a few cars and properly dark, apart from the snow.

The hash was actually pretty much on a path for small tractors or something similar, that went right up the side of the clearing. This ensured I didn't have to get into deep enough snow that it'd get annoying. Since I still don't have a GPS, the only proof I can offer of being on the hash will be rather long-winded with the walk there.

Floffe earned the Public transport geohash achievement by reaching the (57, 18) geohash on 2009-02-16 via bus 22 from Slite to Visby.

• 

  Wintry road to walk on

• 

  A rather decent-looking sunset. Time to hurry up before it gets too dark!

• 

  Not open, so I couldn't buy any eggs

• 

  Time to take a smaller road towards the forest. It's been driven enough to pack the snow a bit, luckily.

• 

  This is pretty much right at the hash. There's a path here not on any map!

• 

  And this is the clearing to the west of the hash.

• 

  Time to confuse people who'll walk past later on.

• 

  That's me. Phone camera isn't good for red-eye, but I did what I could to get rid of it.

  Time to catch the next passing bus to get home.
