Expedition

In the morning, I cycled to Osnabrück Central, took the train to Minden and walked the rest of the distance.

It was raining, but I was dressed accordingly and barely got wet. It had been raining a lot lately. On the way to the coordinates, I walked along a path between two flooded fields, which might as well have been lakes.

The coordinates were supposed to be on a meadow 20 meters off the right bank of the river Weser, next to some trees. Unfortulately, the Weser had swallowed its banks and I could not get closer to the coordinates than 20 meters, meaning that the Weser had gotten 40 meters wider in this direction alone. I could only see the tops of the trees next to the coordinates.

Not being able to reach the coordinates, I walked back to the station. After a while, I took the train via Löhne back to Osnabrück Central, and after another while, I cycled back home.

Ribbons

Fippe earned the My kingdom for a boat consolation prize by being prevented from reaching the (52, 8) geohash on 2024-01-02 by an impassable and unforeseen river.
