This page is under construction, and it probably won't be finished too quickly. Currently I'm writing this with Nokia E71 phone. Hmm... Could there be an easier way... ;)
Planning
Today's geohash coordinates looked promising. I entered them to Citizen's MapSite, and got this map. That's about 11 kilometers from home, as crow flies. I have geocache Latokartanonkoski just x km from the hashpoint.
I decided to cycle there: first south on road 52, then short forest road to east. Eventually a smaller path would lead almost to the destination. Hashpoint seems to be in somewhat wet forest surrounded by ditches.
Expedition
I started my cycling tour from home at 9:45 o'clock. Temperature was 22.7 C, sunny weather. Traffic was not too heavy on road 52, but some trucks and cars passed me very close.
Forest road was closed by a wire, but that isn't a problem. It is allowed to cycle and walk in forest if it isn't strict nature protection area or military area or such. Next to sand road there were several low platforms for lurking moose.
I left my bike to the end of the road, and started walking a small path. I scared away a moose or a deer. I couldn't see it, but I could hear that it was some 30 meters from me.
I reached the hashpoint. There were pine trees, and blueberries.
I got back home at 13:10. Temperature was 26.1 C.
