Participants

Plans

Visit some geocaches and the hashpoint.

Expedition

Phone's navigator showed that the hashpoint was 45 km from home. Actually I checked it after the trip, as I didn't use the navigator to get there. First I searched a multi cache in Tenhola (Swedish: Tenala) village, then drove 25 km to the hash.

The haspoint was on a ploughed field some 35 metres from a small road. Swedish name of the road is Fårtvättsvägen, Finnish Fårtvättintie. The Finnish name has been formed from the original Swedish name by changing genitive 's' to 'in' and vägen (= road) to tie (= road). That's necessary because we Finns wouldn't otherwise understand it's a road. And vice versa, where applicable.

The road leads to a place called... Fårtvätt. I think it means Sheep Washing. I had never thought there has been need to practice such thing. <Add a link suggested by Google here>. Probably there isn't a sheep washing pool in the end of the road, if there has ever been.

So I parked next to a barn, changed to rubber boots and loped to the hash on the clayey field.


Photos

Coming some day, I hope...
