This one went without a hitch! Obviously I didn't bring my trusty Trek bike to Sweden (not so trusty given my [[2015-01-16 37 -122|first hash attempt]] but hey) so, Johan Johansson being home (what your bike doesn't have a name?) I used by grandfather's old cruiser. It was an easy ride up through Lödde, past a friend's plant nursery, and through a few little towns to the hash point. It was a beautiful late summer's day, and a nice morning ride. Quite windy though, which was a bit tough on the return trip. Anyway, I got there around 10:35, having left a bit after 10:00, and followed my phone to a little wooded area near a track where some people were on morning jogs or walks. As usual I haven't got a GPS device, rather expensive as they are, so Google Maps on the phone had to do but I'm pleased enough that I reached the spot. Anyway, at that point I took my photos, had a nice (windy) ride back, and that was it!

Plans

I'm on vacation here in Sweden, staying with family, and checked the hash coordinates the night of the seventeenth. I found they were just a few kilometers away from our place in Löddeköpinge, so I figured I'd bike there in the morning and be back in time for a late morning fika with the family.

Expedition

This one went without a hitch! Obviously I didn't bring my trusty Trek bike to Sweden (not so trusty given my first hash attempt but hey) so, Johan Johansson being home (what your bike doesn't have a name?) I used my grandfather's old cruiser. It was an easy ride up through Lödde, past a friend's plant nursery, and through a few little towns to the hash point. It was a beautiful late summer's day, and a nice morning ride. Quite windy though, which was a bit tough on the return trip. Anyway, I got there around 10:35, having left a bit after 10:00, and followed my phone to a little wooded area near a track where some people were on morning jogs or walks. As usual I haven't got a GPS device, rather expensive as they are, so Google Maps on the phone had to do but I'm pleased enough that I reached the spot. Anyway, at that point I took my photos, had a nice (windy) ride back, and that was it!
