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

Era ahir quan, com cada dia a les 15:30 de la tarda, hora catalana, vaig assabentar-me que el hash de l'endemà cauria molt a prop de casa meva. Estava visitant la Santa Cova de Montserrat amb en Joan Ramon i na Mercè, i l'esclat d'il·lusió va ser considerable. Aquest el visitaré, i tant! A més, no tinc cap altre compromís que ser a Rubí a les 13:00 -per assistir a la geotrobada que el company SastRe.O es refereix-, i a Girona a les 16:15.

Conversant amb el primer aficionat al Geohashing de Catalunya, fem per fer realitat el primer aplec. Ens trobarem a un quart d'una a les coordenades indicades. A un camp de conreu de cereal, al terme municipal de Ripollet. -- samperist

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.

La meva expedició és, sens dubte, molt menys apassionant. A dos quarts de dotze surto del meu domicili, a Terrassa, i poso rumb a Ripollet per la C-58 fins a la sortida 8A, i prossegueixo per l'autopista del Mediterrani (AP-7) fins a la número 19, que m'aboca a un polígon industrial Can Salvatella, un divendres al migdia, a ple rendiment.

Estaciono el cotxe al carrer de Gorgs i Lledó, a on tot just neix el camí de Can Cabanyes. Tinc el punt a gairebé un quilòmetre. Em disposo a caminar tot admirant el paisatge que m'envolta, el blat ben enverdit i una floració que, a aquesta època de l'any, despunta amb força. Tot plegat amb un ambient càlid, digne de principis d'abril.

Seguint la recomanació de n'Oriol, em desvio a un senderó dibuixat pel pas d'un tractor sobre el terreny. A la llunyania albiro les serres de Collserola, Marina, la Litoral, el Montseny i Sant Llorenç del Munt. Més a prop, però força més, treu el cap en SastRe.O. Es fa realitat la primera geotrobada de Geohashing a Catalunya, en un lloc fabulós. Un moment especial que immortalitzem amb un autoretrat, i un piló de pedres que el company situa just al punt exacte.

Plegats, tornem al cotxe per dirigir-nos a l'esdeveniment de Geocaching que a les 13:00 arrenca al polígon sud de Rubí, Can Calopa.

Malauradament, amb el pas dels dies, he perdut el tracklog, però el seu té molt més mèrit que el meu!
