Expedition

I went cycling after work. The day was sunny, with the temperature around 12 °C in the evening. I left from the workplace at about 17:40 and made my way to the geohash via Laanila, Puolivälinkangas, Isko, Linnanmaa and Ritaharju. I had not brought the GPS receiver with me, so I had to use Geohash Droid for navigation this time. Nothing interesting happened, I just parked the bicycle and walked through a strip of woods to the hashpoint. Once there, I took a few photographs and got my first mosquito bite of this year. I took a different route back, following the railway via Rajakylä, Toppila and Tuira and finally via the centrum, Limingantulli and Nokela to Mäntylä. I got back home at about 19:40.

Tracklog

I did not have GPS tracking on, but my route was pretty much this: [1] The true distance of the trip was about 26.7 km, of which I cycled 26.6 km and walked 0.1 km.
