This Globalhash is located in a forest in Selbeck.

Plans

  • Fippe: I'll take the train to Duisburg-Großenbaum and cycle the rest of the distance. Not sure how early I'll arrive, but I'll definitely be there at 14:30 to meet with rkschlotte and stay until 16:00, the Saturday meetup time. I'm not bringing the chairs this time since I can't transport them by bike, but I'll bring a blanket we can sit on.
  • FelixTheCat: I'll aim for around 15:00, traffic permitting.
  • π π π: The current fourth iteration of the plan is to leave in the morning, go to Mülheim via Hamburg, Bremen, and Osnabrück, and be at the hash around 3 pm. That's if none of the trains mess it up.
  • ΛΞ: Actually somewhat unplanned, I decided this morning to launch my first geohash expedition ever. ETA 15:00 local time.

Expedition

Fippe

In the morning, I cycled to Osnabrück Central and took the train via Duisburg to Duisburg-Großenbaum. From there, I cycled east towards the coordinates.

The coordinates were in a forest, so I walked the last meters on foot. It is one of those easy mode forests, no dense bushes. At 12:40, I located the coordinates and recorded proof. Nobody else was there, and I didn't find any signs of someone who had been there earlier.

After spreading the blanket to sit on, I started waiting for the others to arrive.

ΛΞ

At about one o’clock in the afternoon my daughter and I made the final go/no-go decision: Let’s GO (-;

Despite forecasted 30+°C we were determined to cover the mere 7 km a crow’s flight from home somehow. Public transportation brought us around the forests between the cities of Duisburg and Mülheim in an hour, and the remaining 2 km we hiked through the countryside. (Yes, the Ruhrgebiet is not all coal mines and steel mills anymore.)

At around 15:10 we reached the plot of forest the coordinates were and met five fellow geohashers (I’ll add name tags, links, and pictures once I figured out how to later (-;)

Shortly after 4 p.m. we had to leave, unfortunately. We enjoyed your company and are looking forward to meet again.
