Location

On a Meadow at the edge of Bergkirchen, a beautiful small village near München, Germany.

Participants

DerFlob, The_T-Man and Johanna, his girlfriend.

Plans

The plan was to get into the car, pick up Johanna at her workplace and then go to the hashpoint and back again.

Expedition

At around 3:30 p.m., The_T-Man and DerFlob drove to pick up The_T-Man's girlfriend at work who then took over as driver since it was her car. The geohasher's 30 km trip was slowed down a bit by a rather large traffic jam on the major roads leaving München towards the West caused by an accident in a tunnel. The point was located on a meadow at the southern edge of Bergkirchen, a small village on the southern edge of München. Luckily, both finding a parking spot and access to the hashpoint proved not to be of any difficulty. To celebrate the occasion, Johanna had baked a totally awesome mixed berry pie. Together with a blanket, dishes and some hot coffee from DerFlob, a nice picnic was had surrounded by village, sunset, a little stream and some pigs in a safe distance. The way back was significantly more comfortable and only slowed down by some short periods of congested roads.
