Expedition

Fippe

I cycled to the Bismarckstraße station, took the train to Bad Pyrmont and cycled from there. The route was very hilly, but the reward was a great view from above. I parked the bicycle where the regular road turned into a forest path, and walked the short rest of the distance. I arrived before 16:00, located the coordinates and recorded proof. Afterwards, I ate my lunch. At 16:00 a plane flew over the coordinates.

Shortly afterwards, Felix and Kat arrived. We had a nice chat, and Felix located the coordinates too. Eventually we walked back to the path and our ways seperated. It was very nice to meet you two!

Afterwards, I walked back to my bike, cycled back to Bad Pyrmont and took the train back to Hannover.

We were spending the weekend in Paderborn, and found this hash nearby in Fippe's graticule. We arranged to meet him around 16:00. At around 15:00 we finished our stuff in Paderborn and hit the road. After driving for about 45 minutes through a beautiful landscape we reached the village of Wendlinghausen. We drove a bit along a forest road and parked the hashmobile at a small car park. Then we walked towards the hash, which took about 15 minutes. There was someone sitting on a tree stump nearby, who introduced himself as Fippe. We had a chat with him, located the point and took some pictures. Then we went on our way again.

It took me only seven years, but I finally managed to meet a fellow geohasher in real life. And it was great! Thanks Fippe, for coming over to this rather remote hash!

The road leading into the forest.
The paths became less paved as we neared the hash. Note also the fallen tree up ahead; probably a casualty of storm Eunice that blew across northern Europe three weeks ago.
We're getting near now. The hash is up ahead on the right.
Right here! Lloyd celebrates.
GPS proof.
A view from the hash.
On our way back we noticed this patch of ice. It was rather unexpected since it had been warm and sunny all day.
