Have you seen our geohashing marker? We'd love to hear from you! Click here to say "hi" and tell us what you've seen!

Curious about what geohashing is? Read more!

Location

In a small patch of wood between two roads near Darmstadt.

Participants

Draradech

Expedition

I decided to try and reach my first geohash today, because tomorrows coordinates are too far away and I have other plans on Friday. I was totally unprepared and needed to buy some batteries (for my GPS unit) and thumbtacks (for the marker which I printed at work) before I was ready to go. Because of road works on the A5 I couldn't take the exit I wanted and ended up driving through the center of Darmstadt. I arrived near the hash around sunset and could walk a short distance to it without difficulties. I took some photos and pinned the marker to a tree. On the way back to my car I was surprised by a boar, which took off when it heard me. Unfortunately I couldn't take a photo of it.

All in all was a fun experience and I will definitely do more.

Photos
