At first we drove to the right place, but on the wrong side of the concrete fence. Then we tried to approach it from the other side, but we couldn't find a good way. We were getting quite desperate as it was cold and sleeting. Finally we have found the right road and managed to reach the required longitude. After a few moments of running back and forth on some field in the darkness and regretting not having a simple compass we have found N-S axis and started going north. When we got about 25m away from the hash point we were stopped by a fence. A few seconds later GPS battery died. We went back to the car, warmed up a bit, took our Balls of Steel™ (for juggling), charged the battery and tried again. After finding a good place to jump over the concrete barrier we finally reached our destination.
