Location

The location was close enough to be reached by bike, and I knew part of the way how to get there. So I just started. From the map it looked like it was on some field.

Plans

Just getting there and doing a little sport on the way.

Expedition

I used today's geohash for a bike trip. Most of the way went rather smooth. It was 20km as the bird flies and without training I thought it would be easy. But it did get tiresome before the end for me; I noticed I cannot drive the same way as the bird flies. And there were mountains! Well not really, a very small hill, but still. I had to drive quite some more distance to reach the place, as I had to cross a big highway and needed a bride. When I finally reached the place, I found that it was just 2 meters from a bike track. It would have been much easier to reach that place if I had known that before... But well, let's see things positive, it was easier to get back. And the good feeling of having reached my first geohash felt really good :)
