Note: When I am writing this (2019-06-06 20:10 UTC), the page shows coordinates 62.3641567, 30.1492873. They are incorrect: I calculated 62.0250519, 30.6902733, and geohashing.info and xkcd.nathanwoodruff.com seem to agree.

Location

In a forest near Pälkjärvi, about 300 metres away from the nearest road.

Plans

An idea both awesome and stupid: I could get a Border Geohash and a 190-km Bicycle Geohash if I cycled there from Joensuu and back. The whole trip would take at least ten hours, maybe more if the weather is hot as forecast by accuweather.com (from 30°C at noon to 20 °C at midnight).

As far as I can tell, this point is not in the border zone, so it should be legal to enter.

I am not sure if I want to do this. I will consider and decide tomorrow.

Update in the morning: I decided to not go for it this time. Too little profit from too much effort, and it is indeed unbearably hot by my standards (now at 8:30, it is already 23 °C). I might try another hashpoint closer to hy home, however.

Update in the late evening: And so I did: 2019-06-07 63 29. Perhaps I will do a geohash in Russia when one falls in the northeastern corner of 61,30 on a suitable day, possibly letting me get a Virgin Geohash.
