Plans

On my last full day I was spending in this area, I had the luck that the hash fell on a close and rather accessible area. It seems to be between vineyards (what else?) and a path seems close.

So after telling the others my intentions and warning them that there is nothing of interest there (well, it's a matter of opinion), maybe a hidden chapel, we agreed that they would drop me off there, they would visit something else of their taste and then they would pick me up after. Everybody was happy.

I think my parents are loosing track of my GPS-based hobbies. "So, are you looking for a box there?", "No, it's not geocaching, just some random coordinates the internet told me to reach"... **confusion face**. "And... nothing else?", "Nope, just some proof that I have been there.". Ok...

Expedition

So I was dropped off on a parking place with at least some shade. This last week we've reached 41ºC, today only 33ºC (: It's manageable. Lucky me, the path I took was partially going through forest. Ahead there was a couple, but didn't seem like hashers, since they took another path.

On the vineyard there was a path around it, which I took. Then between the two of them I started the final approach. While battling with some undergrowth, I realized that I never checked the topography of the area, assuming it was completely flat. But if the hash had fell only a few meters to the west, I would have never reached it. It was not the case. After some dancing I got a precise reading of the coordinates.

Happy and satisfied enjoyed a little while the surroundings, and then I continued to a nearby little chapel hidden in the forest. It seemed abandoned. Quite an interesting lost place. Typical geohashing place I would have never known about if I weren't questing after the randomness.

After that I went the same path back. Once at the parking spot from the beginning, I took an avenue to the village where I was picked up again by my family, having succeeded on reaching the coordinates.
