Expedition
Zertrin
As planned, after I was done with the university stuff, I went back to my home to take my camera and printed an Active Geohasher poster and then headed to the hash at 19h10.
One uneventful 10-min-short ride by bike and I was near the coordinates at 19h20. As I entered the group of trees where the hash was to be, I noticed DerFlob walking in front of me in my direction. The_T-Man arrived one minute later.
We talked a little, took some photos (with The_T-Man's camera, as I discovered only there that mine had run out of battery power...), watched a helicopter landing and wondered about some brass band music we could hear in the air not so far away from where we were. I then fixed the Active Geohasher poster to the trunk of a tree which looked already dead and accompanied Der_Flob and The_T-Man to the underground train station before riding back to my home.
It was my second hash reached, and I was glad to meet other Geohashers for the first time.
The_T-Man
As was (luckily) so often the case, this expedition was again accompanied by beautiful weather. After finishing my Neurology course in the city center, I took a subway train to Großhadern, one station short of Klinikum Großhadern, one of München's university hospitals at the southern edge of the city. I decided to walk the remaining 2 km or so so that my subway ticket would suffice for the trip. My path led me past the Chemistry and Pharmacology campuses of LMU, one of the two major universities in town, and then past the rescue helicopter landing site of the hospital. There, Christoph 1, one of the two rescue helicopters in München was poised to collect an ICU patient. During my paramedics training a couple of months earlier, a very unlikely chain of coincidences ended with me flying across town aboard it, so it was a rather sentimental moment seeing it again. From hereon, my route planning again showed a clear lack of sophistication and I walked the remaining 200 meters to the spot through a swamp, taking a short break to watch Christoph 1 take off.
Zertrin and DerFlob were easy to spot for this time our navigation devices had more or less agreed on the same spot. Like Zertrin wrote, at the hashpoint you could hear a brass orchestra playing the same short melody over and over again. It almost sounded like those traditional hunting tunes ("mort"?) which made us feel just a little bit threatened. We talked for a while, took pictures, left notes, watched Christoph München, München's other rescue and ICU transport helicopter land at its designated base of operations and strolled back to the subway station.

The_T-Man
Those buildings belong to the gene center of LMU's Chemistry department
Christoph 1 in stand-by with the crew enjoying the weather
The coordinates
This is the spot!
The location
A path (which would have made a great alternative for the swamp I crossed)
Patient being transferred (you can catch a glimpse of the ambulance through the tree)
Christoph 1 taking off...
... and away it flies!
Shortly afterwards, the actual holder of the landing pad arrived...
...with a picture-perfect smooth touchdown.
And again with Zertrin's marker to immortalize our triumph
The university hospital, nicknamed "The Toaster" for no apparent reason...
