In a field south of Eppelheim.
Plans
The point is only about about 5 km west of Heidelberg, so it should be easy to walk there. For most of the way, I'll just have to follow a street that I've already used during other expeditions (here, and here). I won't miss that chance to add another walk geohash to my collection. --ilpadre 11:33, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
Sounds good. I'll be there as well. How about a meet-up? Can you be there around 13:00? Fivetonsofflax 19:02, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
Hey guys, we (Mampfred and LadyBB) happen to have an appointment in Hirschberg at 2pm. The hash is about 20 minutes out but we'd like to have a bit of buffer so we could try to be there around 12:30 and mess up the Meetup Graph a bit, any chance you guys could make it that early (and miss a proper lunch, sorry)?

We arrived about half an hour too early and had a walk around the field to see where the closest point from the edge towards the hash would be. After walking around for about 20 minutes (hoping that the rest of the hashers would turn up early as well ;) we decided to just wait for a good opportunity with no other people around and enter the field.
A couple of minutes passed and we were down to one last jogger coming up the path. Right, as as he's past us we'll so ... wait a minute ... hey, he's slowing down ... and waiving at us ... turns out it was ilpadre.

A perfectly sunny Sunday, a hashpoint less than 5 km from where I live, and enough time in my hands for a walk expedition. And then, after I already decided to go there, the prospect of meeting fellow geohashers. When I reached the field, I immediately recognized Mampfred and LadyBB, and we decided it was safe to walk into the field without damaging anything. After a short chat, two hobbits arrived.

Euterkuh started at his place after just arriving from visiting his parents over the weekend. He crafted the ring, took off his shoes and -- because we had an appointment with some more brave adventurers -- jogged about 4km to fivetonsofflaxs place on his bare feet.
