Location

An unpaved small road in the hills around Florence, Italy.

Participants

• David

Eleven other people (including a baby).

Plans

We felt that my birthday would be a good excuse to try out our first geohashing, along with a picnic. On Sunday morning, after checking the coordinates, we left Florence by car, hoping to find an enjoyable place.

Expedition

The location was easily found, and it was exactly over a small road, surrounded by forest and some olive trees. We left our cars, and started looking around for a place to stay. We met some friendly people that live in a house along the road, and they directed us towards a nice open space inside the forest, where we spent the afternoon. Their dog tagged along with us.
