Initial plans and preparation

On my way from Manosque to St-Affrique, this was the only hashpoint I deemed reachable.

Expedition

After a few hours of driving, I finally arrived nearby the hashpoint (about 750 meters away) so I left my car and tried to reach the hashpoint walking. It was very windy and as I walked through a vineyard, I realized that the hashpoint was on the other side of a small forest on top of an hill. When I arrived at the bottom of the hill, I had to cross a stream, climb a rock 2.5 meters high and then manage to find my way through a forest. I was wearing some light sneakers, and when it started to rain, I decided to go back to the car.

Achievements

Ourlig earned the Done with Nature consolation prize by failing to reach the (43, 2) geohash on 2017-02-28. A combination of bad weather, bad shoes, rough terrain and lack of time.
