Location

Between the Autobahn and a field near Schwerborn (not far from Erfurt).

Participants

Plans

Go there after work if it doesn't rain too much (/me thinks Rincewind is made out of sugar ... Mampfred).

Expedition

Straight forward, navigated close to the point using google maps. Got out the car and traced our way along a field next to the Autobahn. Found the hash a couple of meters into the field.

On a side note: I've properly used the hash droid for the first time. In fact for the last few days I've properly used an android phone for the first time (Galaxy S2). Why I'm mentioning that? Thinking about it, there should probably be an achievement for reaching a hash while running hash droid (or any other application using GPS, Wifi and/or packet data for that matter) with more than 50% battery left ... yes, it's very unlikely unless you're carrying a couple of spare batteries with you ;) - Mampfred 13:23, 10 August 2011 (EDT)
