Location
In a field in Karlsruhe's suburb Rüppurr, population 10.000.
Participants
- Koepfel (afternoon)
- Fluxkompensator (late evening)
Plans
Koepfel: Since this hashpoint seemed easily accessible, both from the east from Rüppurr and from the north from Weiherfeld, I decided to try a tron geohash. I started planning two independent routes there and back on the city map and left my house at 15:00.
Fluxkompensator: Initially I wanted to visit the hash around 13:30 which did not work out. So later on I decided to go there in the evening.
Report
Koepfel
Tron achievement was won, hashpoint was reached at 16:00, more to follow.
Here's the Tracklog (.gpx, .kmz, in Google Maps) of the complete expedition. The tracklog is off the road a couple of times, especially on the way home, when I rode between larger inner city houses. On the way there, the track even crosses itself once, when I had to stop abruptly at a traffic light. The GPS didn't realize I stopped and kept drawing the line halfway across the crossroads and then went back to where I was actually waiting. I can assure you, though, that I knew where I was going there and didn't cross my own path, as it's only like one kilometer from my house, so I should know the area,.

Fluxkompensator
I left my home at about 22:40 and cycled to the hashpoint which was 5 km in linear distance. On my way I passed the same "town sign" as Koepfel did. I reached the hashpoint after half an hour at 23:10. Believe it or not, I even found Koepfel's marker with only my bike's lamp, without having switched on the GPS device (which I did later on nevertheless). Before departing I had a look on his pictures and noticed that the hashpoint was directly besides a tractor track. I also took some pictures and (other than Koepfel) cycled back home the same way that I had come.
