Plans

Expedition

We took the 18:43 as planned; relet took the train from Hauptbahnhof and davidc joined at the first stop, Gesundbrunnen. Transport went according to plan and we headed off on foot from Nassenheide station into the spooky forest. Of course at this time of year it was pitch black, and the tall trees obscured the full moon. davidc started several times at the eerie creaking noises of the tall pines.

We left the trail about 50m from the hashpoint and tried to hit the spot in the dark. Reception was poor with the tree cover but we criss-crossed the area enough to be fairly confident in our final choice of hashtree, on which we pinned a geohashing poster which is unlikely to ever be seen by human eyes.
