Plans

My friend told me about geohashing. Like 10 years ago. Just a few days ago I remembered this activity and realised I became crazy enough to enjoy it. I also took my girlfriend, because her craziness and love for weird stuff matches my own. Now it's a long weekend for we've got public holidays and it was the perfect time to stard geohashing!

Expedition

I live in Kraków, which is a transport hub for our region, but my girlfriend makes it from slightly remote village and travelling by train is her daily routine, and her train would take us to the destination, so I just joined her in that train.

Soon we got out in Staniątki. The station was just a walk from the hash. We came along the tracks and a memorial slab indicated turning point. (The slab remembers blasting a nazi-german train, #justpolandthings).

Then we got into the forest. The hash was just several meters away from the path. Unfortunately just after reaching a stump we supposed to be the point, our devices lost signal quality and went crazy, so the assumed point was travelling around us. Nevertheless, after standing still for a several minutes, each of them confirmed at least for a while we actually got there.
