Location

W of München, S of Mammendorf, close to the village of Egg. Easily accessible (train, then walk).

Participants

Plans

Time to 1-up the score for München's graticule!

Y'all, I might be interested in checking out this Sunday's location in München's West, almost revisiting 2009-04-24 48 11 and 2009-04-03 48 11. S-Bahn or RB from München (or RB from Augsburg and beyond) to Mammendorf, then walk. Not sure about the time yet, no other plans for the day (Sundays are awesome!). I could adjust to others' plans, if anyone else wants to go. --Zb 11:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)--Zb 11:37, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Tryin' to make it for sunrise. --Zb 03:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Narrative

Zb left the house at 5 am by bike for München's main station, went by train to Mammendorf, arrived at the geohash at 7:09 just before sunrise, stayed for a bit and then went trainspotting during a long walk via Mammendorf and Haspelmoor to Althegnenberg, from where he took the train back to München, arriving home at 12:15 pm. It was beautiful.

Photos

Plenty to come...

Early Trains to Mammendorf.

5:30 am, München Hbf.
The play on words that comes to mind when pronouncing this train's name in English really is appropriate because of the very narrow layout of the seats.
6:21 am, Mering.
Changing onto another Class 440 a.k.a. Fugger-Express.

Before we get to the coordinates, here's what might be a nice twist to pictures of things revisited. To have the following pictures count in the revisited category, we would have to use not a geocentric system of coords, but a train-centric system. This would completely mess with the idea of geohashing, but I'll explain anyway:

This is the French TGV. It departs München daily at 6:20 am to Paris. It was already at the platform before my train left at 5:37 am.
This is the very same train again, a bit more than an hour later, this time passing through Mammendorf at approx. 160 km/h.
The standard definition says the train has moved on KBS (route) 980 along geocentric coordinates, from München to Mammendorf, on its way to Paris.
But if we free our minds from the constraints of this common definition, we could argue that the Earth has moved below the train -- or rather: Is moving along the train at the moment these pictures were taken. Whoot: These are train-centric Revisited shots! Cool, innit?

At the Coordinates

Sunrise between Mammendorf and Egg, at the coordiantes.

Revisiting 2009-04-03 48 11 (cf. Revisited).

Geohash on 2009-04-03. The spot is where the shadows would meet, if they were longer.
Same Time, same place. Spring has hit the auto color enhancement button.
No shadows this time, because the sun will take some more hours till I would have it in my back.
