Location

In a field in Óbuda, Budapest, Hungary.

Participants

Codae

Abel

Sean

Plans

Head out to the area by metro and suburban rail, walk through some woods to the geohash, and return home the same way.

Expedition

The transport part of the expedition went off without a hitch, save some confusion about where, relative to the hashpoint, the exit to the Rómaifürdő station was. It turned out it was in the best possible location, on Prés utca, right where the path through the forest seemed to be. We paused at this point--Codae to get the GPS working after a six-thousand-mile relocation, and Sean and Abel to pet a cat.

We detoured from the primary route through the forest due to apprehension about its public status (there were people hanging out on it, and we didn't feel like dealing with them with our limited Hungarian), but found a pleasant trail that took us pretty much right where we wanted to go. The hashpoint was by the edge of the woods a bit south of where we emerged. A ditch separated us from the trees, but before long the GPS was registering the geohash on the mown strip of grass between the ditch and the unkempt field, so we collected it there.

Then we explored the territory some more, finding some livestock and a segment of an interpretive trail around the meadow. One of us, interested in whether a recurring plant was a stinging nettle, tested it himself and found that it was. Then we walked back to the train station, on the primary route this time (with, as it turns out, no accostations from the locals), and headed home.
