Location

Near lake Tydingen, Broby, Skåne, Sweden.

Participants

Plans

After a visit at a local antiques fair we will take a swim in Tydingen with the family before reaching the geohash.

Expedition

We took the whole family and a friend of one of our daughter's with us to the antiques fair in Markaryd. It was near 30 degrees centigrade that day and after that visit we new about a nearby beach at lake Tydingen. I also knew about the geohash only 2 km near the beach, but first we stopped for a swim which lasted longer than expected. Logged some geocaches near the beach and then we drove off to the geohash, but there was signs about private roads etc, but this time I didn't care and drove through the forest on forest roads only to find the geohash in a pond. But luckily while trying to get nearer the coordinates I realized it was on the other side of the pond, in a swampy area. Luckily I could jump to a close position and get to the geohash. Took some photos and then returned to the car before anyone would find us on private roads and then drove home.
