Location

Geohash located in a nature reserve area about 3 to 4 kilometers south of Handeloh, a one-horse town of about 2,400 inhabitants, luckily and inexplicably featuring a HVV area railroad stop. Apparently also right next to a place called Wehlen, about which there is no information to be found except for the name on the map and the curious fact that the entire place appears to consist of one street.

In short: Right smack bang in the middle of frickin' nowhere.

Participants

  • mtu
  • Tim
  • Johannes

Expedition

The Handeloh train station is the outermost of the HVV area in the direction of Soltau, allowing us to get there for free. After almost missing our connection train, and then almost missing our stop, we set out from the empty place we were in for the even more empty place where the hash was.

Our trip was pretty uneventful (except for a scary sonuding machine cutting trees), but relaxing and fun. When we got to the hash, we took some pictures, left a note, drank a beer and then headed back. An attempt to live edit the wiki failed due to non-existent network coverage in the area.

We took a different route back, but to our amazement, things looked pretty much the same as they had on the way in. After having passed about eight people on our 11 km trip, we got back to the train station and headed home as happy first-time geohashers.
