Plans

Wow – 1.8 km from home, in the parking area of our local commercial park. Been there many times!

I'm in Hamburg for the entire day, so will go there either in the morning or very late or both. It's only 5 min from the station.

Expedition

Only the sixth geohash in my hometown since I started geohashing, even though statistically there should have been around eight. Of these, this is the first one I'd definitely been to before (likely even that exact spot), the first in a built area, and also the third-closest to home (surprising, given that Henstedt-Ulzburg is almost 40 km²).

I was in Hamburg for most of the day, visiting my godmother, doing a city tour, and going to a Beatles musical in St. Pauli in the evening with my siblings and my mum for her birthday. I wasn't certain we'd be back before midnight, so I had to go to the hash early. I cycled the very familiar 2.5 km to our local commercial park shortly after 8 am and immediately located the hash in the parking area (on the driveway, not in a parking spot) of one of our two local Aldis.

After taking pictures with Jackie & Eagle, which must've looked weird to the few people driving by, I went into Aldi to buy a Franzbrötchen and some other food for the day. Sadly, I don't think they have slushies, and I didn't have time to look for them. Then I cycled to the station and took the train into the city. It turned out we were back around 11 pm, but my family didn't seem interested in taking a short detour to the hash, and I'd arguably already dragged them all along to a geohash before. I didn't see much reason to go back myself since there's no achievement for doing multiple expeditions to the same geohash.

Definitely my fastest and easiest expedition, together with 2018-12-26 53 10.
