The Expedition

TheOneRing

The geohash attempt last Thursday was unsuccessful, so I desperately wanted to go on a new try. The geohash was near that of May 27th, which was my last succesful one...mere chance, I think.

Quite unsurprisingly, the way by train was the same, just a bit further. From the station it was 2.2km, as the bird flies, but that would have been straight up the hill. The route was mostly on paved streets...quite comfortable. After reaching the geohash, I had a rest with schnitzel and something to drink. I walked a bit more up the hill to take photographs of the surrounding and the geohash. The panoramic views of the valley of the river Emme (yes, it is the "Emmental", like the cheese) are very impressive.

I had to get the train back home, so I had to leave the geohash couple of minutes before 4pm. Nevertheless, I think this counts as a Saturday meetup.
