[edit] Plan
Planning to visit the hash early in the morning. Hash situates on the road. It will be very easy to reach the hashpoint, so I will try No Batteries Geohash Achievement. Weather forecast says, that early in the morning I maybe could get Cold Geohash Achievement (below -28 celsius). Let's try! Maybe also Sunrise geohash is possible at the same time. Unfortunately the temperature now (Friday evening) is only -22 celsius... If the temperature in the morning is not cold enough, I will take a official Saturday meetup at 4:00 p.m. ---2011-02-18 7:50 p.m.---
Weather forecast said, that at 11:00 p.m. there should be -29 celsius in Rovaniemi. In reality we have now -20.2 celsius. So I can forget the Cold Geohash and have a good sleep. ---2011-02-18 11:15 p.m.---
Let's meet at official meetup 2011-02-19 at 4:00 p.m. I will be there! ---2011-02-19 00:50 a.m.---
[edit] Expedition
I was at official meeting hashpoint at 3:50 p.m. I could drive my car exactly to the hash. After taking photos and marking the hashpoint I decided to wait, maybe suddenly another hasher appears... But nothing happened, so I left the place at 4:07 p.m. Very lonely meeting.
- By car total 7.8 km
- Walking total about 2 m
- Physical efforts needed (1-5): 1
