11-Apr-2021 – This CP is very easy to reach. It is located inside small town Galchin (Hal'chin) about 50 meters from the paved road and about 10 meters from the small dirt road.

So we decided to visit this point by a car. Our trip started from Kyiv. We went about 183 kilometers by asphalt roads. The road E40/M06 was very good and allowed to drive about 100 kmph average speed. The next P18 regional road was not so perfect; the average drive speed was about 70 kmph.

So after about 2 hours of driving we arrived to Hal'chyn and parked the car about 50 meters from the CP. After a walk by dirt road we reached the CP, which is located in the middle of small field with old corn surrounded by buildings. The field is not closed or guarded, so it is easy to reach.

Also we found interesting astronomical observatory not far from the CP.
