Started at 14:30 from work and drove to the address active geohasher pointed out. Meanwhile the drizzle became stronger … very nice. I arrived in the street, parked my car and tried to catch the right coordinates within my mobile phone … without success because the numbers were jumping around all the time. Additionally I tried to ring at No 6 because my GPS tool taught me my aiming point is probably IN the garage. But nobody was opening. So I tried the best picture I could get and drove back to work.

Expedition

Started at 14:30 from work and drove to the address active geohasher pointed out. Meanwhile the drizzle became stronger … very nice. I arrived in the street, parked my car and tried to catch the right coordinates within my mobile phone … without success because the numbers were jumping around all the time. Additionally I tried to ring at No 6 because my GPS tool taught me my aiming point is probably IN the garage. But nobody was opening. So I tried the best picture I could get and drove back to work.

Afterwards an additional look at Google Maps told me instead, the wanted hashpoint should be one house north?!? Maybe I go back there one day with a proper GPS unit and figure the right point out!!!

So I declare this expedition as failed due to my improper GPS equipment.
