The geohash for 2008-07-08 55 12 was located in Ravneholm Forest near Mølleåen (Mill River) :)

The weather was dominated by showers most of the day, but with the aid of the weather layer on Google Earth and the radar imagery from DMI I managed to avoid the worst downpour, and I only got a little wet.

The old Garmin, I borrowed (affectionately known as "Old Yeller") turned out to be less than adequate for the job. Whether it was the GPS receiver itself or the canope above that was playing tricks on me, I cannot tell. At one point I had a reading saying 2m to hash, so I put the GPS receiver on the ground in order to take a picture, only to watch the reading drift 20-30 m . Bummer :P

Regardless, I'm posting this as a reached geohash, since I spent about an hour walking all over the same 600 m² over and over, so I have been there, I just can't say exactly when. The marker may therefore be placed as much as the before mentioned 20-30 m off.

Da picture:

bjuhn tried reaching the mark a little before midnight but failed... primarily because of his dear mom lending out the goddamned gps-unit -_-

I wandered around the area in the rain for half an hour before giving up on finding the tree stump... oh, i found a nice swing:

-I doubt if that GPS unit would have made a world of difference, since mine went crazy when I went inside the 30 m perimeter (well, it ''is'' old), and all I could narrow it down to was "somewhere on that side of that hill" within said 20-30 m. --[[Special:Contributions/80.165.180.9|80.165.180.9]] 00:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
