Location

Right in the middle of Erfurt next to the University of Applied Science. Perfect place for an expedition on your lunch break.

Participants

• Mampfred and Rincewind

Expedition

We had a nice lunch at the cantine of the University of Applied Science in Erfurt, checked our navigation system and went off.

It was only a short walk and a couple or corners until we arrived at a parking lot behind a fairly large house. We had to step on a piece of grass to catch the location exactly but since there was absolutely noone around (lunchbreak ... probably all at work or asleep ;) we didn't hesitate.

After a bit of a discussion as to how many decimal digits we need to get to actually "reach" the location (we agreed on four is enough as we had to get back to work) we took a couple of pictures and left again.

First ever geohash for Mampfred and Rincewind (who by the way never heard of geohashing before and therefore earned Mampfred a Drag-Along-Achievement ;) and probably one of the most uneventful ever ...
