Location

Today's geo hash was located in a forest near the road between Waldeck and Bobeck.

Expedition: Manu

As I spent the evening before in Jena I thought the geohash would be easy to reach on my way to work in Leipzig in the morning. So I stood up half an hour earlier and until I parked my car on the side of the road only about 30 metres away from the hash point I even worried that it would be too easy! But this should not be the case. Immediately after entering the tight underbrush I stood at a very steep slope, which my GPS device told me to climb down. It was wet and muddy, but I tried to find a way down. When I finally made it within five metres to the hash point it began to drift away on the display due to the bad reception in the forest. I hurried to follow the signal climbing up the slope again, whereas I nearly lay down in the mud, until I reached the street again. Disappointed I reentered the forest, took some photos of me in the underbrush (unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera so I could only use my mobile phone and therefore photo quality is low), while the spot on the display was still wandering around me. Nevertheless I claim "coordinates reached". The note I brought with me to leave it for Reinhard like a few weeks ago I took back again, because I wasn't sure that he would find it in the evening. Furthermore I wanted to leave the shrubs quickly as I am always afraid of ticks - later I constantly thought something was crawling on my leg or neck, although I haven't found one yet. Did I mention that my shoes and trousers became very dirty - not really adequate for working in an office and cleanroom...
