Expedition
Tracklog
Start of the track (green) is where I parked the Goldwing, first photo. I first tried to get North on foot cross country and then with the bike on the road, all unsuccessful. Finally, I rode to a kind of beach resort which I knew and walked down to the water, where the track ends (red), last photo. The water level in the reservoir was lower than assumed in the map, so I got to the end point with dry feet.
Photos
Parking by the side of the road, looking in the direction of the geohash.
The Droid shows it's in the waters, 1.76 km from the parking place as the crow flies.
After passing by a fountain construction site, I continue North with a fence to my left…
… but I'm stopped soon by an East-West fence.
I return to the fountain site and follow a fence westward…
… until the North direction becomes open again.
A fence comes up to my left, but I can still continue North.
There is a settlement of weekend houses behind the fence.
The terrain gets a bit tough.
The fence turns to the right, eastward, and then again, forcing me back southward.
I loose somewhat direction on the way back, but then I see the fountain construction site…
… and finally the Goldwing.
I try to continue with the bike on the paved road, but it leads to a closed settlement I can't enter.
I turn around and ride to an access to the reservoir I know, albeit further away from the geohash.
At the waters in which the geohash resides, behind the boat docks about three kilometers to the left.
