Very near to 2008-12-08 49 9, I will go there. I have to get my bike back from the repair shop first. Will you come, and when? Best route is through Steinbachtal (which is where we met last time, thepiguy). Srs0: this or this bus from Leistenstraße to Limbachshof or Kist/Carl-Diem-Straße - Danatar 14:05, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Thepiguy won't get off until later, but will be going. I'm free to go pretty much whenever. He gets off work at 17:00, but still has to get a new tube for his bike and the like. When were you planning on being there? -Srs0 21:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I can meet you at the same place we met last time around 18:30, or I could just meet the two of you there. Thepiguy 21:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Just found out I might not have time this evening, so I'll start now. Sorry, I can't wait any longer. Danatar 12:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Alright, have a good expedition! I'd run out to join you right now, but the next bus isn't for an hour, so I'd miss you anyways. See you at the next hashpoint! -Srs0 13:00, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

2009-07-22

Leavin' around 18:00 or 19:00. - thepiguy

I won't be able to cycle tomorrow, so perhaps I will go by car at midnight. If I do that, should I pick you up again? - Danatar 14:35, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Would that be midnight tonight or midnight tomorrow night? Thepiguy 14:38, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Picking you up today 2009-07-21 23:30, hashpoint tonight 2009-07-22 00:00 - Danatar 16:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good! I'll be ready. Ring the bell if we're not out front. Thepiguy 17:27, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

2009-07-25

Around 7.5km from srs0 and thepiguy's place. I'm thinking of going for a walk geohash, depending on how I feel tomorrow. I have no idea what thepiguy is planning, and would ask, but he's been asleep for around 2.5-3 hours, and I only got home from work shortly before that so we never discussed it.

The location is right by the airport (Flugplatz Würzburg-Schenkenturm), and should be easy to get to with or without a gps! It's supposed to be rainy tomorrow, but here's hoping that's wrong! -Srs0 19:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

2009-09-05 and 2009-09-06

I'll be doing the 6th, in Zellingen, by bike. However, two days of bike rides is too much for me right now given my wrist was hurting a bit after Thursday, so I can't do both. If anyone is driving to the 5th, I'll tag along, but otherwise you're on your own.

Now, for the 6th, I'll be going unless the weather turns to pouring rain, in which case I may still go. We'll see. However, I'm definitely planning on being there! -Srs0 07:22, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

2009-11-07 (saturday)

I probably will get my hands on two Baden-Württemberg-Tickets for 5 people each for that day for half the original price (they are from a group which had to cancel their trips and those tickets can't be returned). In case the Würzburg group plans to go hashing somewhere in Ba-Wü that day, you might be interested in one of them? I'll use the other one myself, so one could meet at some obscure point in the state. --Ekorren 10:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

2010-05-08 (Saturday)

There were a lot of hashpoints in the western end of this graticule recently, like this one. It's in a field east of Gemmingen, east of Eppingen. Reachable from Karlsruhe, train to Eppingen and ~8km by bike. Considering it. Koepfel _talk 14:41, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I might have gone in order to meet you, but I don't have enough time. Have fun - Danatar 17:59, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

2012-02-23

Thomcat will be traveling from Frankfurt to Nürnberg on Sunday, and is considering the Würzburg geohash for this day (just NE of Eubigheim). Interested? See my talk page. --Thomcat (talk) 11:07, 21 February 2014 (EST)

Visitor this week 2014

Hi all, I'll be staying in Uettingen this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and if there's a reachable hash I'd be happy to meet up! Not sure what sort of transport I'll have access to, though... -- OtherJack (talk) 18:16, 12 October 2014 (EDT)

-Today is thepiguy and my hashiversaries, so we're going to try to make it.  We're thinking of taking the train to Wittighausen, and then biking to the hashpoint (though it's in a field), biking back, and then taking the train back.  Our departure time from the Würzburg Hbf is 17:33 and we're hoping to catch the 19:30 train back, though likely we'll take the ~21:45 train that goes to Lauda and then back to Würzburg.

-Danatar, does the 24 hour ticket you told us about for Heidelberg also work in these areas?  I saw Lauda on the map of viable cities, but not Wittighausen.  Thanks!  -[[User:Srs0|Srs0]] 06:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
+== Older discussion ==
-:Wittighausen is along the line to Lauda, so it is valid of course, but maybe not the most reasonable solution.
-:*The stop before Wittighausen, Gaubüttelbrunn, is only 2 km before Wittighausen and still in the VVM area.
-:*Do you have the students ticket Danatar has? I believe that one is valid in all of the VVM, so also to Gaubüttelbrunn, so in that case you could go there for free.
-:*If you have that and want to go to Wittighausen anyway, you might be able to convince the people at the ticket office to sell you a ticket from Gaubüttelbrunn to Wittighausen for about 1,50 per person and direction. This connecting ticket is not available at the ticket machines. They don't need to sell it if they don't want to, but often do. It's a slightly strange legal case with these connecting tickets. In opposite direction tickets to Gaubüttelbrunn are available at the ticket machines at Wittighausen for 2,10 EUR per person.
-:*If you don't have a VVM pass, it gets slightly funny:
-:**Single ticket to Gaubüttelbrunn is 4,90, to Wittighausen 4,70 (yes, the longer distance is cheaper!).
-:**Cheapest solution is the "VRN Ticket 24 Plus" 24 hour ticket to Wittighausen for 14,50 € (group, so for both of you). That's basically the same as the one to Heidelberg for 19,50, but for a much smaller region.

-:Arrg, edit conflict! It took me some time to write it, so I'll just post my part again, even if most of the information is there twice.
+=== 2009-06-29 ===
-:I don't have time this evening, sorry. [http://www.vrn.de/imperia/md/content/fahrausweise/wabenplan/2009_1_wabenplana1_low.pdf This] is the area for the VRN tickets. Würzburg is in the upper right corner and Wittighausen is 3 honeycombs below. To find out which level of the ticket you need, you have to count how many honeycombs you cross on your way, including the starting honeycomb (i.e. 4 from Würzburg to Wittighausen, 5 from Lauda to Würzburg; 7 for everything from 7 honeycombs up to the whole area).
+Very near to [[2008-12-08 49 9]], I will go there. I have to get my bike back from the repair shop first. Will you come, and when? Best route is through Steinbachtal (which is where we met last time, thepiguy). Srs0: [http://www.wvv.de/m_10721 this] or [http://www.wvv.de/m_10722 this] bus from Leistenstraße to Limbachshof or Kist/Carl-Diem-Straße - [[User:Danatar|Danatar]] 14:05, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

-:Now the difficult part: Your student ID <s>card</s> paper is in general valid [http://www.wvv.de/m_10256 in this area]. If you use the train it is valid until the ''last stop inside the VVM region where the train you use stops'', i.e. if the train stops in Gaubüttelbrunn, you only have to buy a ticket from Gaubüttelbrunn to Wittighausen. If you return via Lauda, that train will probably not stop between Lauda and Würzburg, so you can't use your student ID card for that trip.

-:The (VRN) "Ticket 24" is for one person, "Ticket 24 plus" for up to 5 people. So you should take the Ticket 24 plus level 5 (14.50€) if you go via Lauda. But it would be cheapest (0€ with Würzburg student ID) to take the train to Gaubüttelbrunn and return from there at 19:35, 16 km in 90 minutes should be more than enough since there is nothing interesting at the hashpoint to make you stay longer than necessary.

-::More fun with inconsistent ticket pricing structures?
+=== 2009-07-25 ===
-::*In case you need to take the connection via Lauda, where the students pass is not valid, a single ticket from Wittighausen to Würzburg ''via Lauda'' is 5,90, so two of them are still cheaper than the 24 hour pass. It might be a challenge to buy one such a deviated ticket, though. Further advice on request.
-::*You can also buy a 24 hour ticket for the line from Lauda to Würzburg (so that it is valid to from Gaubüttelbrunn or Wittighausen to Würzburg via Lauda) for 9 € - but ''only at Gaubüttelbrunn''. This is because in the VRN, unlike almost all other areas, a 24 hour ticket is not only valid for the area between the starting and end point but it into all directions from the place where you bought it as long as it's not more zones away from there than you have paid for. For the VRN, Gaubüttelbrunn is three zones from Lauda and three zones from Würzburg, so a three zones 24 hour ticket from Gaubüttelbrunn is valid to both Lauda and Würzburg.
