Hi there

36 / m / 49,8

I live in Karlsruhe, Germany, so I'm most active in 49,8 and 48,8.

I was an occasional xkcd-reader for a while now, but never bothered to read it from the beginning. In January 2009 I did, however, discovering Geohashing. The fact that I just got a phone with built-in GPS came in handy as well. On the following weekend, I saw that the Sunday Geohash was only 2 kilometers away from my place, so I decided to go there.

my Expeditions

(most recent first)		Achievements	Distance travelled / km	Duration
2009-04-07 49 8 to Rußheim	Pictures		83.3 total, 75.3 by tram/train/bus, 8,0 by foot	4h 05min
2009-04-05 48 8 to Karlsruhe-Grünwettersbach, met Fluxkompensator	Pictures		27.0 by bike	4h 50min
2009-03-30 48 8 to Lauterbourg, France, met Fluxkompensator	Pictures		55.3 total, 46.8 by tram/train, 8.5 by foot	5h 05min
2009-03-16 49 8 to Oberhausen-Rheinhausen	Pictures		61.1	3h 05min
2009-03-04 48 8 to Baden-Baden	Pictures		89.0 total, 82.3 by tram/train/bus, 6.7 by foot	4h 50min
2009-03-02 49 8 to Flehingen - fail due to unexpectedly rescheduled exam			n/a	n/a
2009-02-14 48 8 to Iffezheim	Pictures		83.2	4h 15min
2009-01-31 48 8 to Neuburg am Rhein	Pictures		49.0 total, 43.3 by tram/train, 5.7 by foot	3h 20min
2009-01-25 49 8 to Karlsruhe-Waldstadt, met Fluxkompensator	Pictures		8.4 total, 6.7 by tram/bus, 1.7 by foot	1h 10min
		total>	456,3	30h 40min

Most distances of older expeditions were measured by retracing the route as I remembered it in Google Earth, the first two expeditions to Waldstadt and Neuburg were even retraced weeks after the expeditions took place, so these might not always be accurate.
