Expedition

On her way to Darmstadt the day before, Yakamoz saw that the next day's geohash could be reached by bike. It looked close to Langen, a small city between Darmstadt and Frankfurt. A short message to Rincewind via hangout and the plan was set: we would cycle to tomorrow's geohash point. We started on Saturday at 4.45 pm. Rincewind estimated that we would need two and a half hours for the round trip. He knows the distance and route because in his younger days (Hey! [Rincewind])he often biked in the nearby Hessian area. Yakamoz just had to follow him with her bike (exhausting:-) ).

1 hour and 15 minutes later we have already reached the coordinates and taken some pictures. After a short break for drinks we cycled back on another forest track and were home almost at the time Rincewind guessed.

After light refreshments we went to watch the Street Theatre Festival whose program promises a clown show and acrobats at the city centre.
