Plans

I have been waiting very long for an easy hash in the Ostrava graticule. I really wanted to deflower it - and add it to Minesweeper challenge. However only a small part of it belongs to Poland, the rest is Czech Republic and Slovakia. This weekend the geohashing trolls were very favourable to me and created a hashpoint in the very corner of the graticule and only just off a road! I couldn't have missed it!

I have surveyed the point in the Google Maps - it lies in a field next to the 933 road in the village of Ćwiklice near the town of Pszczyna, not far from a restaurant, which would be a convenient parking spot. Looking for characteristic features in the street view I have noted a tilted telephone pole standing by the roadside and a billboard announcing a car dealership in Pszczyna. The pole's shadow could be barely seen in the aerial view, so it was possible to measure the distance from the pole along the road (8.5 metres) and from the edge of the road to the hashpoint (10 metres). Easy!
