Location

The geohash was in Ebersberger Forst, close to St2080, near Schwaberwegen.

Participants

Plans

The plan was exactly how it turned out (see below), except that I did have a small hope I would be able to find the coords without a GPS.

Expedition

I failed because the spot was somewhat close to the road, somewhat close to an intersection with a dirt road that I used as an landmark, but all in all, I could only be sure to be within a range < 250 m to the coords -- too inaccurate for calling it a success. Time to finally get a GPS receiver.

The entire day, however, was very cool: It started out with a tour of a semiconductor fab, included a nice bus ride around München's airport and through the Finsing bog, featured fall colors and an almost full moon, and ended with a nice folk/punk show.

Photos

Another adventure prior to exploring the geohash. The green creatures with blurred eyes are 1 boss and 4 coworkers, the white creature with blurred eyes is the engineer who acted as our tour guide.
The best (and acutually quickest) route for circling from München's N to München's East at this time of the afternoon involved a bus that runs only once a day.

The beauty of fall colors...
... is maybe the most important reason...
... to geohash at this time of the year.

Waldvergnougat! Let the fun of finding the coords begin.
A map! A map! The coords must be in section 26, just S of the red dot that tells me that I am where it is. U bevindt zich hier, as the Dutch say.
Playing with GIMP's filters to make this picture look somewhat like an adventure game on a 8086 with a CGA graphics card.
This must be within close range to the actual coords. No really good landmarks are available, however, to match my brought-along satellite printouts with my actual position.

After walking back NW to Schwaberwegen, the moon looks nice while I wait for the bus to Ebersberg.
Ebersberg. The Filzenexpress is coming in from Wasserburg Bf to take me to Grafing Bf, where I will connect to München Ost. This was the first night with sub-zero temperatures. At home, we harvested the last zucchini of the year before they would freeze and rot.

Another adventure after exploring the geohash. I was early; later, there were way more than five paying guests.
