As the geohash is located in a publicly accessible place close to a train station which receives direct service from their home station of Oldenburg-Wechloy, Loipho and Gaboversta decided to venture on an expedition. Departing at Oldenburg-Wechloy at 14:53, the train made quick progress towards Bremen. Most of this was along the tracks which are recreated in a DLC to a train driving simulator. The corresponding steam page advertises the 'scenic plains of northern Germany', surely a euphemism.

Location

This Geohash is located in the Bürgerpark (citizen park) in Bremen-Schwachhausen.

Participants

Expeditions

Gaboversta, Loipho

As the geohash is located in a publicly accessible place close to a train station which receives direct service from their home station of Oldenburg-Wechloy, Loipho and Gaboversta decided to venture on an expedition. Departing at Oldenburg-Wechloy at 14:53, the train made quick progress towards Bremen. Most of this was along the tracks which are recreated in a DLC to a train driving simulator. The corresponding steam page advertises the 'scenic plains of northern Germany', surely a euphemism.

The Bürgerpark is a rather nice place, with vast greenery and open paths. In some places, we found signs instructing us not to enter the grass, though through logic derived from the board game 'Carcassonne' we deduced that this did not apply to the patch home to the geohash.

The hash itself was right off a major path and reached mere moments before our desired time of arrival of 16:00. A proof of this was attempted, but foiled by one of our watches being set incorrectly. Despite looking around, no other geohashers could be identified, so we left for the return journey.


(This really does not work well on trains.)

Fippe

After visiting 2024-12-12 53 7 in Kampe, I walked to the Harkebrügge/Abzw Westerscheps bus stop, took the bus to Oldenburg, the train to Bremen (arriving at 16:27) and walked the rest of the distance through the park.

It is infuriating how closely I missed you both, Gaboversta and Loipho - less than an hour apart at the coordinates! By the time I got there, it was considerably darker, but locating the coordinates and recording proof was not difficult.

Afterwards, I walked to the nearby Crüsemannallee station, took the tram back to the central station, where I missed Gaboversta and Loipho again, who at the time were waiting for their train if I read their tracklog correctly. Since I did not know that we were in the same building, I took the 17:14 train to Osnabrück Central and walked back home.
