Well armed for this first expedition (i.e. remembered to bring hiking boots suitable for the muddy fields), I originally intended to approach the hash from the south. I parked near some farmhouses located there, but soon realized I had missed the Landgraben on my quick check of the map.

For the second attempt, I parked north of the Leimbach, near a bridge to make a second approach from the west. This was more successful. There wasn't really a footpath, but some people seemed to have walked on the stream's south bank before. After a few hundred meters I had already reach the correct longitude. About 10 meters into the field (just barren earth at this time) the correct latitude was reached as well.

After a few circles (till my phone's GPS had settled on the correct position) I marked the place of the hash with an X. Halfway into photo taking my phone suddenly shut down.

This hash is only 6 KM from my office and so I just have to try. So I started on my bull at half past seven in the morning. It was quite foggy but that didn’t matter in the town. After I’ve crossed the river rhine I had to ride through the fields and now I had to stop several times because my glasses got so wet that I couldn’t see anything anymore. Nevertheless I came close the hashpoint at half past eight. It lays on a field spanning between two rivulets, the Landgraben and the Leimbach.(as Lord Vetinari mentioned before).  I stood near the Landgraben in the south and the hash was 150 m away near the Leimbach in the northern part of the field (I could hardly look that far because of the fog).
 +
 
 +
I drove some 200 m further along the field to find a better way through it (or along the edge of it), but I didn’t reach the end of it and the only thing I found was a tracktor-track which seemed to be a little bit less muddy. To my surprise the ground proved to be much harder than it looked and so I reached the hashpoint pretty fast and quite clean (or at least with only a little mud at my shoes).
 +
 
 +
I took some pictures of the fog, returned to my bull and continued my ride to my office. Unfortunatly I didn't left a mark. I didn't expect any other hasher today. I hope I'll earn from that (and maybe even announce my visits.)

To Lord Vetinari: I hope you keep on hashing and we'll meet one time.

Location

The hash is located near Schwetzingen/Oftersheim in a field between two streams (Landgraben and Leimbach). While the Landgraben is pretty unimportant and soon joins the Leimbach, the latter one flows along the palace gardens of the somewhat famous Schwetzingen Palace and later joins the Rhine.

Participants

Plans

I intended to make a short detour to the hash from the nearby A5. This was to be my first hash. I had occasionally checked daily position of hashes near me, but never saw one that was close enough when I had the time.

Expedition

Lord Vetinaris expedition

Well armed for this first expedition (i.e. remembered to bring hiking boots suitable for the muddy fields), I originally intended to approach the hash from the south. I parked near some farmhouses located there, but soon realized I had missed the Landgraben on my quick check of the map.

For the second attempt, I parked north of the Leimbach, near a bridge to make a second approach from the west. This was more successful. There wasn't really a footpath, but some people seemed to have walked on the stream's south bank before. After a few hundred meters I had already reach the correct longitude. About 10 meters into the field (just barren earth at this time) the correct latitude was reached as well.

After a few circles (till my phone's GPS had settled on the correct position) I marked the place of the hash with an X. Halfway into photo taking my phone suddenly shut down. Apparently the cold made the battery drop from 40 to 0 percent. In the meantime it was already getting dark. Winter really is coming.

I'm sure this wasn't my last geohash and I'll be keeping an eye open for the next ones.

DODOs expediton

This hash is only 6 KM from my office and so I just have to try. So I started on my bull at half past seven in the morning. It was quite foggy but that didn’t matter in the town. After I’ve crossed the river rhine I had to ride through the fields and now I had to stop several times because my glasses got so wet that I couldn’t see anything anymore. Nevertheless I came close the hashpoint at half past eight. It lays on a field spanning between two rivulets, the Landgraben and the Leimbach.(as Lord Vetinari mentioned before). I stood near the Landgraben in the south and the hash was 150 m away near the Leimbach in the northern part of the field (I could hardly look that far because of the fog).

I drove some 200 m further along the field to find a better way through it (or along the edge of it), but I didn’t reach the end of it and the only thing I found was a tracktor-track which seemed to be a little bit less muddy. To my surprise the ground proved to be much harder than it looked and so I reached the hashpoint pretty fast and quite clean (or at least with only a little mud at my shoes).

I took some pictures of the fog, returned to my bull and continued my ride to my office. Unfortunatly I didn't left a mark. I didn't expect any other hasher today. I hope I'll earn from that (and maybe even announce my visits.)

To Lord Vetinari: I hope you keep on hashing and we'll meet one time.
