Plans

I will grab my bike sometime in the morning and attempt this geohash. The orography seems however a little complicated. It looks like the hash has fallen in a small gully called El racó del Pau Canyadell (I mention it because I am surprised it is even named) which flows into the stream of Can Canyadell[1] which separates the municipalities of Rubí and Castellbisbal, as mentioned.

My first impression was to approach it from the west but I see some issues:

1. I would have to take a rather busy road with my bike and I don't feel secure doing so.
2. Topography maps suggest the slope from this direction might be to complicated and there are no paths (nor on OSM or on other platforms) approaching the hash from west.

So I will try it from east, riding from Castellbisbal along the Crest of Can Riquer. It might require some more altitude gaining than necessary but I hope it will eventually allow for an easier approach to the hash coordinates. Crossing the stream should not be a problem, since it should have water only after rains.

The last part of the path I am planning on taking is not on OSM (but on other cartography), so I might be aiming for some OSM contributions after this expedition, if everything goes as planned.

Let's say, between 3-4 hours if I am in the mood of some geocaching?

Update this list.

  1. Pau Canyadell and Can Canyadell are not two different names. Can Canyadell means at the House of Canyadell. This "Can" is like the french "Chez".
