Location

This Geohash is located in a forest in Callenberg.

Participants

Torodeas

Expedition

Compared to yesterday , this expedition is tame. I didn't really plan for it - 7 consecutive hashes have exhausted me and I was ready to end at that round-ish number.

But today's point is interesting: It's in Coburg. The CITY of Coburg. The bigger Graticule of Coburg, but still. The chance of a hash there still just half a percent:

Name	Geohash probability
■ 50,10	0.51%
■ 50,11	0.10%

You see, Germany is separated into districts. Most cities are just part of their district, but some cities are so large (or some other historical reason) that they are a district upon themselves, giving a much, much smaller district than otherwise. If I ever want to complete subdividing Upper Franconia, I will need four of these independent cities: Hof, Bayreuth, Bamberg and Coburg. And today's hash in Coburg is - very accessible. It's close to a train stop, I still have vacation, so I have time to go there, AND they recently build a new high-speed connection between Bamberg & Coburg I will be able to use for this trip.

So out I go for this one additional hash. There really isn't anything special to say here, except that the new high-speed rail-link is great, shaving off 30 mins in each direction, and I have approx. 40-45 minutes to cover the 1km from the train station to the hash (and back). That sounds like a lot (and it is), but there is a significant elevation difference between the station and the hash. And my feet hurt after yesterday. But I make it in time (and in a kind of annoyingly cold rain), capture a good reading and turn back to the train station.
