Expedition

My plan was to take the train from Sélestat to Wihr-au-Val via Colmar, then hike 40 minutes to the coordinates.

Unfortunately the 17:11 train was cancelled and the 17:41 departed with a 15 minute delay. Apparently, someone drove their truck into a bridge near Mulhouse and they're to blame for all this stuff. Anyway, I arrived 45 minute late at Colmar, just in time to watch the 18:06 train to Metzeral leave without me (of course this one had to be on time).

I could have waited 30 minutes for the next train, but by now it was no longer possible to reach the coordinates and return in time to catch the last return train at 19:54. So I aborted the expedition.

Achievements

Baarde earned the Train wreck consolation prize by failing to reach the (48, 7) geohash on 2024-07-19 because of a 45 minute late train and a missed connection.
