Location

northwest of Bebenhausen in Schönbuch (again!)

Participants

Plans

This one is very near to 2015-08-28 48 9. The plan is identical to last time: Wake up early, do some morning sports and go to work afterwards. ETA at Geohash: 7:30 - 8:00 CEST! -- klaus

Well, I won't join in at that time. Might go later during the day, but probably not. --Ekorren (talk) 11:21, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Expedition

The evening before I wanted to geohash, I noticed that I forgot my Garmin GPS at my parents place a few hundred kilometers away. So I didn't set the alarm and went to work as usual. During the work, I thought that maybe I can download the geohashing app and do it with my smartphone. I left work at around 17:30 and went straight to my home, changing into some warm sporting cloths and left for my geohash expedition at 18:00. The problem was that the sunset was at 18:29 today and I arrived at around 18:40 at the geohash.

Of course, the stupid smartphone took 5 minutes to get a GPS signal, so it was the end of the twilight time when I finally arrived at the geohash at 18:50 and I had to use my (expensive, but good) headlight to get a not completly dark photo.

Nothing spectacular at the geohash, but all in all a nice 1:30 bike trip. And I noticed two cats on my way back to Tuebingen! (which is easy in the dark with a headlight, just look for the devil eyes) I patted one of them, but after reading the requirement for the Hashcat_achievement again, I may not have qualified, because it was close to Tuebingen and thus not close to the geohash :(

Tracklog

none this time, but very similiar to the one of 2015-08-28 48 9.
