The Expedition
TheOneRing
I decided to go in my lunch break, which turned out to be a rather bad decision. The weather was not very nice all day (rain, snow and finally sleet) but when I was on my way it turned into hail. Fortunately, not for long.
From my office it was a 2km-walk through the city. When crossing the river Aare on a bridge I saw a labyrinth on a meadow. It seems to me that it was a so-called "medieval labyrinth", but I'm not sure. I also passed the home of the FC Breitenrain Bern. I could have gone for the picnic achievement as I bought something to eat anyway, but no not under this conditions (furthermore, I was hungry).
Some meters further, there was the geohash, but where exactly? According to the map, it was on private property and there wasn't anyone to ask for permission and I'm not a burglar (never been, hopefully never will be). So I went as close to the fence as possible and checked the distance: round about 6 meters (see photograph). I claim coordinates reached. I took some photos at the geohash and on my way back, and went back to work.
