Try to reach my first geohash-point. Today it is near and on a field.

Expedition

MikroKosmos

I followed walking trails, crossed a stubble field (100m) and went on a field of grass (20m). Then I was just at the coordinates N53° 40.291 E010° 02.279. I took some photos and then went without leaving anything but traces.

My first regular expedition where someone else also showed up (though not at the same time)! Welcome, MikroKosmos! In retrospect, maybe I shouldn’ve left just before the meetup time, but I didn‘t expect anyone else to come at all.

I took the train to Kiwittsmoor and then cycled 2.5 km to the hash, managing to take two wrong turns on the way. I left my bike on the path, jumped over a ditch to get to a frequented dogwalking path. I considered waiting until nobody looked, but that would have taken some time, so I just paced across the field in plain sight and entered a small stretch of forest. I walked through it for about 70 m until I found a good spot to cross the next ditch and enter the field of the geohash. 35 m across the grass, I found the location and took pictures, then walked 160 m back to my bike, crossing a fence, some undergrowth and the first ditch again. Then I wanted to head back to Kiwittsmoor, but missed my turn and ended up accidentally cycling 2.7 km to Langenhorn Nord station, where I saw my train leave as I arrived, so I had to wait for the next one.
