Plans

Thomcat visits Frankfurt this weekend and he wants to meet some German geohashers. This place is near Frankfurt, it is easy to reach from there and in the graticules around there live a lot of active geohashers.

Because he hasn't made plans until now, the time of the meeting is unknown. I can be at 8:31 at the station Käfertal-Wald of the regional tram 5 or at the hash at 9a.m. The hash is 2.2 km away from the tram stop. Another way to go there is by the tram 7 to the stop Vogelstang.

DODO will come by bike. But it's a 30 KM ride and I certainly won't be there before eleven (Ok, half past ten if I really hurry). Any time later until 4 p.m. will be fine for me. I'll have a look here before I leave home tomorrow.

Hopefully it's not too late tonight. Likely arrival times at Käfertal Wald are 10:33 and 12:03 - my preference would be for the former. --Thomcat (talk) 16:26, 22 February 2014 (EST)

GeorgDerReisende will be at the station Käfertal Wald at 10:30.

Revised comment - I will also arrive at 10:30; if we hear DODO is on the way, we will wait for him to arrive. --Thomcat (talk) 23:02, 22 February 2014 (EST)

Further information - I depart Frankfurt Hbf at 9:06 from platform 12. --Thomcat (talk) 00:33, 23 February 2014 (EST)

Mampfred, LadyBB and EmmJay will try to be there at 10:30, probably going straight to the hash. Not entirely sure if we'll go though, will decide in the morning.

Excellent, I look forward to meeting you! --Thomcat (talk) 23:02, 22 February 2014 (EST)

DODO: OK, I start at 9 and try to hurry. cu
