Location

At the edge of a field near Baruth (Mark). It's Geohashing Day, let's make an attempt!

Participants

davidc

Plans

It's a 1 hour train ride from Berlin to either Baruth(Mark) or Klasdorf Glashütte, either way there's then a 3-4km walk through the forest.
Trains from Hbf (from Bernau and Gesundbrunnen, via Potsdamer Platz and Sudkreuz) run at 09:26, 11:26, 13:26, 14:26, 15:26, 16:26, ...
Anyone else interested? --davidc 13:53, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Expedition

departing Hbf now. What a lovely day for geohashing day! --davidc 11:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
davidc was there at 16:45. Story and photos when I've recovered.

Photos

I forgot to bring my camera, so excuse the poor quality and complete lack of horizontal alignment in these photos:

Horsies by Baruth station.
Tree-lined avenue from station to the Baruth park.
A very cool but dilapidated building on stilts next to the rather marshy park.
Not long for this world.
Baruth park castle.
A travel bug and a gigantic oak holding geocache GC27F0Q.
Walking down the road toward Klasdorf.
Turn-off into what turned out to be a tract of land for a pipeline.
Pipeline pumping or monitoring station?
Mystery Box mark 2 - no box, just a lifeguard's chair!
Geodesic survey marker on a tree.
Geodesic survey stone.
Marker and stone together.
GPS coords of the marker.
Where in Berlin they number every single tree, out here in Brandenburg they only number each section of forest :-)
The pipeline tract opens up into a larger field, the hashpoint is beyond the far tree line, but... an electric fence!
Fortunately the fence ends abruptly and shows it was there for no reason at all.
Looking down the hashfield. The hashpoint is beyond the mystery box.
And turning the corner to see the hashpoint in the dead centre of this photo.
iPhone map proof.
iPhone GPS proof.
That's a cake. With two candles. Happy birthday, geohashing!
A tractor crosses the top of the hash field.
No poster, left a card. The tree sap glistens in the beating sun.
After a flat journey, heading downward back into civilisation.
Baruth has a few of these strange underground cellars dotted around in public places - not connected to any private property.
Roundabout joining the two major roads running through Baruth.
