Location

Near Gänserndorf, in the Marchfeld.

Participants

Plans

The Vienna geohash for Sunday is in the middle of a road, some 30 km from Vienna. User:G* plans to go there.


Expedition

user:G*

I checked out one of Vienna's "citybikes" around 14:45 at the Praterstern station. I thought I could do the 30km to the hashpoint quickly, but the constant rain, interrupted only by occasional drizzle, made the ride a bit unpleasant, so it took me more than 2 hours to get there.

The hashpoint itself is in the middle of the road. By the time I got there, my fingers were not dry enough to operate the touchscreen of my cellphone, but I still managed to take 2 pictures (Lagerhaus in the north, OMV on the south side of the street). I used "mytracks" to document my trip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6FwB6Orvmq7U0l0bzQxRnRJZWM

The way back was only 20km, as I only went to Leopoldau, the easternmost stop of Vienna's subway line U1.
