Expedition

After missing all previous Geohashing Days and Mouseover Days due to unlucky locations or circumstances, this year I got a bit more lucky. At first, none of the points in nearby graticules looked too good. Given a chance, I would prefer points on virgin graticules. I gave some thought for 66,23 which looked interesting but not really accessible, but then I realised there was an accessible point here in 65,27. If I brought a bicycle in a bus, I would have a doable distance to cycle and plenty of time. Depending on where I would get off the outgoing morning bus and get on the returning evening bus, I would have 6–7 hours to cycle 50–65  kilometres.

I decided to take the bus from Oulu and to get off at the bus stop of Syöte junction at about 10:15. I then cycled via the hashpoint to Taivalkoski where the returning bus stopped at 17:05. The weather was partly cloudy with the temperature around 10 °C – a surprisingly annoying temperature because if I wear only a t-shirt, I get cold due to wind, and if I cover myself any more, I get too hot due to body heat. I ended up wearing only a t-shirt most of the time and just ignoring the slight cold. Occasional sunshine and long uphills really helped with trying to be warm.
