From Geohashing

What are you guys up to? Reports are very, how should I put it, compact. Tilley (talk) 10:43, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

Indeed, this looks like the start of quite an epic event. I hope you guys expand on all the reports after you get some rest. I'm looking forward to it. Pedalpusher (talk) 10:46, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

Thanks guys for the positive feedback. We're still going strong, who knows where the adventure will take us next -- Micsnare is typing this on a notebook while B2c is driving.... Guys, watch this space!!! Micsnare (talk) 17:55, 2 August 2015 (CEST)

I'm speechless. Tilley (talk) 13:31, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

What the... Why is the main page full of pictures of you three? And you are still not finished, as it seems. Are you crazy? Hooray! - Danatar (talk) 09:46, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

Ok, you catched me curious. At least eight geohashes on one day. I'm eager to read the reports. - TheOneRing (talk) 2015-08-02T17:26+02:00

Ahhh..... GRAND. EPIC. FABULOUS!1PE (Canberra) (talk) 00:18, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

Really, you Austrian guys are nuts! In a good, geohashing-type way! Btw, not only did you top Bysmyyr's 10-hashpoint record he did by flying, you topped his speed! His aeroplane can't go 220 km/h :) Tilley (talk) 03:43, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

Haha, thx Tilley, that really made me laugh hard. And yes, we really put that old piece of scrap to the test for this one :D --B2c (talk) 11:10, 3 August 2015 (CEST)

Epic day out. Is this a record? --Sourcerer (talk) 04:20, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

To my knowledge this would be a new record for most hashes visited in one day. Also: Thanks for the cool table, I changed it around a bit and added the correct time for the third hash. I also uploaded proof for the third hash to the corresponding page. --B2c (talk) 11:05, 3 August 2015 (CEST)
You are right. I had you south of the equator. --Sourcerer (talk) 12:43, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

Looking at the table, (great representation, btw) I'm curious why you didn't stop at the 49, 12 in-between hash #4 and #5? Wasn't that close to being on the way to #5? Pedalpusher (talk) 17:01, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

The idea was to drive only as far to the west absolutely necessary, as we had to drive all the way back too. Therefore we designated 48,11 , 49,11 and 49,12 as backup hashpoints and tried to do a little 'loop' around Vienna. So after we reached Munich we decided to skip the remaining two backup hashpoints and directly went for the 49,13 hash. Also the 49,12 seemed to fall on private property too and might have been tricky to reach. --B2c (talk) 08:06, 4 August 2015 (CEST)

Report is finally up. Sorry for taking that long, but this was a lot to write up. I also added a separate page for the thwarted 48,15 hash. enjoy! --B2c (talk) 14:08, 4 August 2015 (CEST)

I'm somewhat happy to be the first one to congraticulate. :D -- relet 08:26, 4 August 2015 (EDT)
Wow, thanks, we're honoured! Also: I see what you did there -.- --B2c (talk) 16:33, 4 August 2015 (CEST)
Very thorough report! Excellent work! Was fun to read. Tilley (talk) 02:58, 10 August 2015 (EDT)

Wow. That's one Epic Adventure. Congratulations! And thanks for writing that very comprehensive report :-) FelixTheCat (talk) 15:18, 4 August 2015 (EDT)

Wooooooooooow! -- Jevanyn (talk) 13:28, 10 August 2015 (EDT)

I'm really, really impressed! Congratulations! I just read through your report and I'm even more impressed. You are awesome! ---(sorry, I'm on a mac right now, where do I get tildes? RecentlyChaneged, 15 August 2015)

OMG I just saw this now, when I was updating Hall of amazingness with my friend Elipongo's crazy ambulance-hash from last month. Not sure how I missed it earlier, I must have failed to reset the watchlist mechanism at some point. You guys are the best!! -- OtherJack (talk) 01:37, 15 September 2015 (EDT)
