Location

A little bit south of the shore of an island in the middle of the Elbe river.
The city of Wedel (Schleswig-Holstein) lies on the northern river shore and the JVA Hahnöfersand (JVA = Justizvollzugsanstalt = correctional facility) of Jork (Lower Saxony) on the southern one.

Participants

Plans

I wanted to start geohashing for a while now and what better way to start than to get to my Origin geohash first.
Looking it up (which I did via the Shotgun tool because I didn't realize I could go that far back on geohashing.info at first), I found it to be in the middle of the water. But luckily I own a drone and it shouldn't be so far off the coast of Wedel (which would be much easier for me to get to, living in Schleswig-Holstein, than the other shore would be - also, with a prison being on the other side)small>, that the remote wouldn't reach - so I'd make it a Geohash by proxy achievement.
I planned going on Fr. the 30th of June, as I wanted to have a bit of a special date but wouldn't have time on the 1st of July. Then I got the idea to go a bit later, on the 4th of July (today as of writing this) to reach it exactly 25½ years after my birthday, but the weather was forecast to be rainy, which my drone wouldn't like, so Friday it was.
