Expedition
This one looked rather close, and since it also looked like it was in some field in town next to a hospital, it looked very reachable. The bad part was the cycling route is 60-70% in town, but the total distance(42km) is a good morning workout for me. The weather was not that good though. About 13-15C, 98% humidity when i left. Water in the air even suffered a bit from gravity.
The hashpoint itself was a bit further than the extreme corner of the field. There were some homes for old people. Very convenient, next to the hospital. The field was wet, and my cycling shoes aren't waterproof.
