Participants
Intro
Well this was my fist Geohash. I was trying to attempt one for month now but there was always something hindering me from actually starting in the first place. So this time everything was ideal. Not to far away so I could reach it using a bike, great weather conditions and plenty of time.
Plans
As I knew the general direction I had to go pretty well and had traveled some parts of the way before I decided to get as close as possible without using my mobile phone (and its great GeoHash Droid App). So there was no special preparation needed besides getting a bike as my own one is currently in Munich and therefore out of reach. I could use the bike from my sister after I inflated the tires and adjusted the (horribly uncomfortable) seat. A quickly staffed backpack including water, the map, money and my phone I was ready to go.
Expedition
Still to come
Gallery
- I started planning my tour using a bicycle map where I marked the locations as close as I could
- Start point in front of our house. Yes I wore that T-Shirt intentionally.
- Beautiful view over Estenfeld and Würzburg in the background.
- Again view over Estenfeld and Würzburg from the same location, but pretty zoomed in. You can make out Fortress Marienberg.
- I came across an Exhibition where quite many people looked at tractors and combine harvesters.
- Bavarian blue sky. The barely visible building with the arrow (old silo) was another station onwards to the Geohash.
- The old silo up front.
- One single completely red apple in an otherwise fruit free tree.
- Entry to Dipbach, the village closest to the Geohash .
- Almost there - The point is somewhere on the left in the corn field.
- That's how close I got without using a GPS and navigating only with my Map.
- So I had to go in there to reach the point.
- The first few steps were easy...
- ... but it became quite hard to move through the crops without damaging them.
- Target reached (to the best possible result as the GPS signal was quite weak.)
- XKCD carved into the soil, little hard to read though
- Silly grin at the hash location
- On my way back some bigger clods showed up.
- Home again. Just in time before the rain started.
