Location

In the forest a few kilometers west from Häckeberga Castle, Skåne, Sweden.

Plans

To get there first, since this will render me a FTF on a geocache on opencaching.se.

Expedition

Drove there early in the day and arrived there about 9.30. Found the place to be easily accessible as it seemed to be on satellite photo. Documented the place and returned to work. Found out later that day that Fasanen had the same idea but I got there first.

Plans

I learnt about geohashing a few weeks ago through a virtual cache on opencaching.se and have since then been following the hashpoint coordinates. Either I have been too busy or the coordinates have been located in the sea or in fields with growing crops but today I had some time to spare and the location seemed nice.

Expedition

Weather was fantastic. I drove the car to the hashpoint which was very easily accessed as it was located just 10-15 meters from the road in a friendly open forest close to a grassy field. After documenting the place I went to find a geocache which was located just half a kilometer down the road.
