Plans
I plan to go there with bus, probably transferring in Cerdanyola. Idea is to be around 12 there, more or less. Maybe if I make my plans public I end up meeting someone there... ;) -- SastRe.O
Expedition
SastRe.O
As planned I left home in the morning and took the bus in Sant Cugat to Cerdanyola, and there I transferred to another bus which lead me to Ripollet. Once there I had to walk a bit.
It was on a quite nice area very unknown for me. The fields and flowers were blossoming, sunny day and the +20ºC were making me regret not trusting my instincts and wearing long trousers instead of shorts. A very pleasing day.
I saw on the map that the hash was on the other side of a field right at the edge. I found a few meters away some nice truck marks on the fields that allowed me to cross it without damaging the crops. I arrived at the hash at exactly 12 o'clock, as planned. Took a few pictures of the green fields.
And not having to wait that long a few minutes later appeared Sampersit, which I know he was on the way here. Finally! First meet-up in Catalonia :D I am no longer alone :P And surely won't be the last :)
Showed him the place where I marked the coordinates were, and he agreed that was indeed the geohash location. He also took then some pictures of the area.
Celebrated such joyous occasion and as we left we did not depart ways, since I was joining him on a geocaching event we were both attending later that morning.

There in the middle on the horizont is where the hash is.

Looking north.
Down there is this creek with the very ominous name Torrent de la Dona Morta (Stream of the dead woman) O_O.
Spring!
