Expedition
Since the geohash was located roughly in the middle between Oldenburg (where I live) and Bremen (where I had an appointment with a friend), I took my bicycle on a train to Bremen and made the return journey by bike. We had a long, pleasant walk and ice cream in Bremens Bürgerpark, then I started riding.
From Bremen through Delmenhost, Schierbrok and Bookholzberg I followed the train tracks quite doggedly, before swerving to the north towards Hiddigwardermoor. Since the field with the geohash had an open driveway and there were no unwelcoming beasts in sight, I walked right to the spot and took a shadowy selfie there.
Some 20 meters away was a toy balloon lying in the grass, undoubtedly the vehicle of some ninja geohasher who had beaten me to the spot.
Of course the were still some 25 kilometers to cover, so I once more rode into the evening sun. Inevitably, my route converged toward the train tracks again on my way from Hude to Oldenburg.
