Expedition - Fail

Why Mannheim? Well it recently became the most active graticule in the world by coordinates-reached - congratulations. And Sourcerer has been watching your activities with interest for several years. Hi everyone! And this report might be read by several geohashers. And I don't want to write 50 expedition reports.

Commercial flights can be boring but a 50 graticule expedition passes the time quite nicely. In Mannheim, I passed 31 km north of the hashpoint between Wiesloch and Rauenberg.

The expedition failed but came close in several graticules. Canterbury, close to home, was the closest approach. I was under 5 hash units from the hashpoint. For an air geohash, a hash unit is 310 metres.

• 51 1 - 1.48 km
• 49 9 - 4.5 km
• 43 18 - 3 km
• 41 21 - 5 km
• 39 24 - 10 km
• 38 25 - 10 km

A year ago, on a similar flight, I was successful. I have guestimated that on this path there is between 13% and 25% chance of hitting a hashpoint.
