Plans

Next to a school in Plankstadt, insanely close to the 2010-07-28 coordinates. While I back then couldn't go due to time constraints, I will probably try to walk to the hashpoint on Monday. Unfortunately, no Juggernaut, since 6.2 km (straight line) and a deviation of about 500 m => 5:62 > 1:20, although I will be able to travel most of the way in a perfectly straight line.

Might try it as well. I'd try to go sometime in the late afternoon (maybe 17:00) Koepfel _talk 19:17, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I didn't want to miss a hashpoint in walking distance, now that I finally have time to go on expeditions again. Expedition went just as planned, even the walking didn't hurt as much as I had expected after more than a month without training. Just the occasional rain was a bit annoying.

Koepfel

Took a train from Karlsruhe to Schwetzingen, walked to the hashpoint by 17:00, found someone's (possibly ilpadre's) marker, a couple of small stones spelling "xkcd".

Left at 17:15, walked to Eppelheim, revisited 2009-05-21 49 8, walked to Pfaffengrund and took the tram to Heidelberg.
