Location

View of the backside of the Hofer market. Hash was located inside.

South of the Vienna city centre, at Davidgasse in the 10th District. The hash was located inside a Hofer discount market.

Participants

Planning

Train Station Matzleinsdorfer Platz

No extensive planning was needed - the hash was located pretty much at the geohasher's doorstep. They conversed via IM and decided to meet at 11am at Matzleinsdorfer Platz, which was about 10 minutes away from the hashpoint. Both of them rode the subway and/or tram to get there.

Expedition

Although it was raining heavily at that time, they quickly made out the hashpoint in the vicinity of a Hofer market. After walking around on the parking lot, trying to get a good fix on the position they asserted that they had to walk into the market to reach the hash. But as soon as they entered the market, both their smartphones immediately lost the GPS signal. In the end they resolved to taking some quick photos of the hashpoint in the market and took the GPS reading from outside the building. The nearest spot turned out to be at the backside of the building at the truck loading bay.
