Location
On a forest road just off Main Road 12, halfway between Lahti and Kouvola.
Participants
Plans
I happened to be in Finland for the weekend, and this hash popped up on Sunday in a location that seemed reasonably reachable. It was located exactly on a forest road, but how accessible that road would be in winter, with fresh snow having fallen the previous night, was unclear.
Expedition
Driving along the number 12 road I spotted the exit to the narrow forest road just a bit too late and missed it (cannot brake very hard on a snowy road) and had to turn around about 1 km down the road. The first part of the road was quite driveable. The snow was packed and the road relatively wide. As I went deeper into the forest, the road became narrower and narrower, and the snow thicker and thicker. I very carefully drove the last 500 m towards the hash, and reached the point pretty easily. I then had to reverse that same distance because I didn't want to risk doing a 3-point-turn on such a narrow road with such a thick layer of snow. This all went pretty smoothly and I was soon back on the big road and on my way to Kouvola.
My first hash in a foreign country, and also my first Frozen Geohash!

A bit hard to see, but it's definitely -3 °C.
And we've arrived!
