Plans

I'll be driving to Borstel-Hohenraden this evening anyway to pick someone up, so I'll try to take a detour to drive through Ellerau. Since it's right next to the road (and it's expected to rain, and it'll be dark), I probably won't stop but will try for the speed racer achievement, documenting my experience with a GPS tracklog. Since it's in the middle of a straight stretch of road, that shouldn't be too difficult.

(Or perhaps I should go there on the way back, then it'd be a drag-along achievement, too :D. Looking at the satellite picture, I'd probably also be on the better side of the road on the way back.)

I'm probably going there some time during the afternoon, after university. I need some time for myself, so the ~30 min ride on the jolly old AKN train will be just perfect for me.

If Pne does stop the get out of his car at the hash after all, maybe he will find something I leave behind there :)

Expedition

Pne

Funnily enough, when I told my satnav to calculate a route to from my home to my destination with the geohash as a via point, it took me down the road the "right" direction, though Google Maps' directions went the other way around...

At first, I thought the road would be 30 km/h, but that was only up to the last bend; the straight line was under the normal speed limit of 50 km/h for built-up areas. According to my satnav, I drove just slightly over it; oops.

The tracklog's resolution wasn't high enough to show that I was at the hashpoint, but the hashpoint was bracketed by the points (53.653458,9.948907) at 2010-11-19T16:47:15Z and (53.763619,9.952686) 15 seconds later at 2010-11-19T16:47:30Z. If you interpolate that 25.47% along a straight line, you'll find that I passed through (53.763499,9.9498695) at 2010-11-19T16:47:18.8Z, or about 0.006076° (8.5 m) north of the hashpoint: about as close as I could get while staying on the road.

My speed at the closest trackpoints to the geohash was 15.10 m/s (54.36 km/h).

Achievements

Pne earned the Speed racer achievement

by passing through the (53, 9) geohash on 2010-11-19 at (just over) 50 km/h.

Pne achieved level 2 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement

by visiting coordinates in Hamburg, Germany and 2 of the surrounding graticules.
