Tilley accidentally mentioned Geohashing at IRC.
20:57 < Tilley> hmm, väärä kanava, mutta eipä mitään.. Geohashingista siis kyse, joskus täälläkin oon maininnut. http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/Main_Page
A conversation started and I looked if there were any reachable locations nearby. This location seemed reachable by bike. Plan was to cycle there and back using shortest route possible 2x31 km.
Expedition
Route seemed easy on paper, but recent improvements to road 51 caused few detours. Additional places visited included Peuramaa golf course and Maatilapuoti a hybrid between cafe and farmer's market.
Actual place was a swamp with lots of mosquitoes and raw cloudberries. A bottle of insect repellant would have been a nice addition to gear.
