Plans

Fippe

I'm planning to visit this geohash on the 20th of February, 2015, at 14:00. I'll take the train to Alfeld and ride my bike to the hashpoint.

GeorgDerReisende

I will hitchhike to that place, I plan to be there at about 14:00. I can wait until 15:00, but this is the last chance to travel back home.

Expedition

Fippe took the train as he had planned it, and rode his bike to Föhrste. At that point, the gradient became to steep, so he locked his bike up and continued by foot. As he reached the top of the (small) mountain, he saw GeorgDerReisende on a meadow. He had arrived earlier and already found the exact coordinates. They shook hands, took pictures and talked a bit, before they made their way back down.

GeorgDerReisende

		I left home at 9:15 and started to hitchhike at 10:15, after ten minutes of waiting I got a car to Göttingen and from the junction there I got another car just to the car parking at the national road. So I arrived near the hash at 11:49, only 1.05 kilometers away.
		There it is.
		I walked straight to the hash. There was no dance.
		View to the west. To the north.
		To the east. To the south.
		From the other side of the hill was a good view to Alfeld, where Fippe should come from. I found a chair there. In this chair I waited for Fippe's train. It passed by, but didn't stop.
		I waited another 30 minutes, but Fippe didn't arrive. So I walked around and found an old stone, telling about somebody who killed his brother on 30.05.1871. While I tried to read the text I heard a shout "Georg!" and Fippe arrived.
We shook hands and walked together to the hash. Fippe made his own proof. After a short talk we went home, Fippe back to his bike, I back to the national road
		A view to Imsen. I started to hitchhike at 14:45 and with four cars I arrive at Kassel at 17:45.
