Expedition

In the morning, I cycled to Osnabrück Central, took the train via Münster to Drensteinfurt, and cycled towards Sendenhorst.

The coordinates were on a field, but there was an unforeseen stream between me and the Geohash. Could I jump it or would it be wiser to take the my kingdom for a boat consolation prize? It turns out that there was a third option: I spotted a small bridge a bit further upstream. When I got there, it turned out that the bridge was just a fallen tree - I suppose I am Mother Nature's favorite again! The tree was not wide enough that I dared to balance over it. Instead, I sat on it sideways and scooted my way to the other bank.

A few meters further, it turned out that there is a second stream. This time, I was confident I could jump it and did so. Finally on the right piece of land, I walked over to the field. I think the crops growing on there were young canola plants. There were suitable tractor tracks that led my almost to the coordinates, and for the last meters, I carefully stepped in the spaces between the rows of plants and located the coordinates there.

After recording proof, I went back to my bicycle. I didn't want to cross two streams again, since I noticed that they merge into each other which would mean that I'd only have to cross one stream. At the confluence, I noticed that the combined stream was a bit too wide for my taste, so I opted jumping over the two streams one at a time after all. The first jump was fine, but after the second jump one of my feet slid back into the water. I suppose that I spoke too soon about being Mother Nature's favorite. My shoe, sock and foot were not as wet as I had initially feared, they would dry soon.

Enabled to continue, I cycled to the Sendenhorst/Krankenhaus bus stop on my way to 2023-09-30 52 8 in Albringhausen.

Fippe earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the (51, 7) geohash on 2023-09-30.

Is it true that Fippe earned the Mother Nature's Favorite achievement? In principle, yes. But Mother Nature giveth, and Mother Nature taketh away. Also, that's not even a standard achievement. (2023-09-30 51 7).

Fippe earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching 40 hash points on 31 consecutive days starting on 2023-08-31.
