Have you seen our geohashing marker? We'd love to hear from you! Click here to say "hi" and tell us what you've seen!

Curious about what geohashing is? Read more!

Location

In a little forest near Hofheim / Marxheim very close to a track.

Participants

Expedition

QuarterCacher & M & Ricki

We've been at the stables as usually on Saturday mornings and decided to visit this hash as it was just a short detour on our way home. It was a cold but nice and sunny morning and we really enjoyed the few hundred meters form the parking area. Just after we placed the poster as we already expected that Mampfred and LadyBB would go there as well. ;-)

Mampfred & LadyBB

We had a bit of tapdancing fun this morning in Wiesbaden and decided to do the hash in the afternoon. Called QuarterCacher this morning but they'd already done the hash this morning so we went there and found a very prominent active geohasher sign leading the way :)

Very easy hash, parked a couple of hundred meters out and walked there using existing tracks, the hash was only a couple of meters into the woods. The GPS signal was rubbish though as we had to walk around for ages to get to 0m distance - the classic "head 5 more meters that way for another 30 meters, then turn around and walk another 40 meters back and you're there". Snapped some pictures and headed back home.
