And DON'T FORGET to add your expedition and the best photo you took to the gallery on the Main Page! We'd love to read your report, but that means we first have to discover it! :)

Location

Small meadow on a hill near Skała town, 25 km north of Kraków.

Participants

Zyxist alone

Plans

Geohashing in winter wonderland. Reality exceeded expectations.

Expedition

It would be a great biking expedition, if not winter. Areas around Kraków are on much higher elevation and the snow cover is greater there. The question is: will the weather cooperate?

I departed from home around 1:00 PM. I took the road going straight north from the city, climbing higher and higher. Suddenly, the dense fog (and air pollution from chimneys) appeared and I started worrying whether there will be anything to see. Fortunately, once I entered the ring road around Skała, the fog was gone and uncovered excellent views. I circled the town and turned into a small, village road. At the sharp turn, I found a ground road going to the forest and decided to park there. I walked the last 200 meters, and entered the meadow. After covering some bushes and snow, I found the hashpoint. It was probably my first hashpoint with such a nice view. There was a valley and the town on a hill. I spent some time there and I walked back to the car.
