Location
Today's location is in a forest at the Würzburg city limits.
Country: Germany; state: Bayern (Bavaria, EU:DE:BY); administrative region: Unterfranken; district: Würzburg city district
Weather: Forecast says sunny and up to 22 °C.
Danatar
Planning
How very convenient! The Mouseover Day geohash is very close, and the weather should be very nice. I'm planning for 4 p.m., but haven't decided yet on my mode of transport.
Gefrierbrand
Planning
Indeed very convenient, I'll try to be there as well. I'm going to go by bike and should be there around 4pm. Time to meet up ;-)
Expedition
On Saturday afternoon, I started biking while heading in the general direction in beautiful weather at around 3pm. Despite having to climb quite steep hills, I made good progress and reached the approximate hash location about 15 minutes prior to the official meet up time. As I entered the forest, the GPS signal strength dropped considerably and I was not able to exactly pinpoint the location. I therefore waited in the general area and used the time to read some quite interesting signboards explaining parts of the forest and its vegetation located not far away. As I returned from this sign, I practically ran into Danatar, who was quite surprised to find someone else geohashing. We then combined our GPS-Powers and were able to get to the hashpoint within the margin of error. I put up a marker for other potential new geohashers close tho the actual location facing the forest track for best possible perceptibility. We then shared celebratory candy for the special occasion before returning home again.
