27 / m / 49,9
AboutI'm a student in Würzburg, Germany (living near 49.8, 9.95), and I will try to reach hashpoints in biking distance. Having no important tasks except for 1) lunch with my friends at 12:45, 2) writing my doctoral thesis and 3) preparing my final examination (in April), I may do expeditions on every day of the week. I don't own a GPS device but I'm watching eBay for one. I may also visit hashpoints near Heidelberg in my origin graticule Mannheim, Germany (49, 8). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Danatar earned the Train Wreck Consolation Prize on 2008-12-09 by blowing up his bicycle with a tire inflator.

Regional Geohash Achievement progress: 4/20 for Bayern (Bavaria) (EU-DE-BY) 3/11 for Baden-Württemberg (EU-DE-BW) Other achievementsSince all the expeditions have been done by myself, this ribbon is mine as well:

Owning no GPS device, I have to rely on Google Maps, the Bavarian Land Survey Office's maps (with topographical information) and OpenStreetMap.org to find the hashpoints. This means that whenever there is no special landmark (intersection, house...) at the hashpoint, I can only guess where the hashpoint is. If the hashpoint is e.g. in a forest 200 m from a track, I consider the coordinates reached after 200 large steps into the underbrush. If the hashpoint is in a field with crops or in a very dirty/wet place without any obstacle between me and the hashpoint, I am satisfied at the edge of that area. This is my heavy charger. He is heavy (no carbonbreds in his lineage), almost unstoppable (changing the brakes does not change anything) and carries me wherever I have the strength to take him. He is not born for far and fast journeys, more for the rocky wilderness. Unfortunately, I'm not born for the rocky wilderness, so his usual terrain are paved roads, downhill whenever possible. Nontheless, he has been my trusted steed for about 10-12 years.
For those of you who use Firefox: Have a look at the minimap sidebar add-on. It supports Google Maps and OpenStreetMap and it tells you the exact coordinates the cursor is on. Disclaimer and thanks: Ideas for this page were stolen from / inspired by relet, Robyn, Arvid and others. Many thanks to Hessophanes for his great Regional-Geohash-Map-Tool. Also to Ekorren for his Hash Inquiry Tool which even works via foreign mobile phone networks. |
