Plans

I will take the train from Lyon to Pontanevaux and walk from there to the geohash. I expect to reach the coordinates between 15:00 and 15:15.

Expedition

I took the 13:34 train from Lyon to Mâcon (just like last week's expedition) and arrived at Pontanevaux train station at 14:15. I walked through La-Chapelle-de-Guinchay and entered the Moulin-à-Vent vineyard, which is named after a 570 year-old windmill (moulin-à-vent means windmill), on the border between the Rhône and Saône-et-Loire departments.

Several people were busy working between the vines and burning dead wood near the geohash. Therefore I didn't linger. I entered the circle of uncertainty, recorded proof, left promptly and resumed my course toward Chénas. After passing through the village, I turned left and went have a look at the windmill.

Then I walked back to the train station.
