In the forest not far from a road approximately a kilometer west from Häckeberga lake.

Participants

Plans

By looking at aerial photographs, this hashpoint does not seem to difficult to reach. It's not far from the road and if we're lucky it's also in quite passable beech forest. We'll try to be there at noon and will bring some lunch with us. /Fasanen

I might be there too/ Lillangen

And we // llavids

The road next to the hashpoint seems to be closed so there will probably be half a kilometer of walking/bicycling to the coordinates./Fasanen

Expedition

We arrived at the road gate just before noon. Ilavids and Lillangen where already there. It turned out that we where ten people and one dog that had gathered to get to this hash. What a crowd! Amazing!

We began walking the half kilometer to the hash point and I realized that I had walked part of the road three years earlier in a quest for a mystery geochache. We passed the cache location and an eternity tree before we got to the hash which was located in quite easy terrain. After planting stick with a geohashing flyer and taking photographic proofs and group photos we walked back and had picnic outside an old earth cellar. A young couple passed by. They seemed a bit overdressed for the environment, carried groceries and where interested in insects. They eventually wondered off into the woods. After spending an hour telling old geocaching war stories and finding the mystery cache, we headed back to our cars.

Lillangen who was a bit in a hurry, had left slightly earlier but was coming back running towards as and told that our cars were blocking a big lumber car that intended to drive on the closed road. We dashed to the cars which we hastily packed and left the poor young couple's car. I don't know the end of that story but we had a great afternoon. - Fasanen
