Plans

I spotted this geohash the day before. It was not in my graticule, but quite close (approx. 45 km). And this graticule was still virgin! So I decided to go. On D day, looking at Google Maps, I first planned to park my car in Saint-Martin-d'Ablois, and then walk through the forest to the geohash. But these forests are more or less private and it was a 10 km walk to go there and come back. So I decided to park the car the closest I could, on a little road I spotted. I didn't know if that road was also private but I bet it wasn't.

Expedition

I departed at 12:20 and got some gas for my car. After a painless 40-50 minutes drive, I found the little road, to the left of a larger one. The road wasn't private but it was really just a little path. So from there, I decided to walk. I quickly found the geohash using the Geohash Droid app on my phone (thanks for that!) instead of going in circle looking at my car SatNav like I did on that day. It was a bit too easy, but fun! And it was a virgin graticule! Hooray! Easy was good since it was my first geohash in a few months.
