Location

In a field near Görsroth.

Participants

Plans

On friday, we (Mampfred and Rincewind) noticed that the saturday and sunday hashes are quite close. We'd done consecutives before by going to one hash around 10pm and heading on to the next oine for a midnight achievement, so we both planned for different graticules (Rincewind went for this one).

On saturday, Mampfred had a chat with Quartercacher and was up for it as well and would bring M along as well.

Expedition

... coming from the first hash of the night we tried to find some parking near the second hash and ended up being about a kilometer away. As we had a bit of time left, that was fine and we started walking. It became incredibly cold as soon as we arrivet at the open fields - we could have anticipated that but preparation is for loosers ;)

Anyway, we arrived at the coordinates on time for the midnight hash and took some more grin shots. Surprinsingly, our shoes wern't as dirty as we feared considering that it was raining all day.

On the way back to the car I actually got a text message from Rincewind telling me that he'd been successful as well :)

We had a quick chat and apparently he wasn't quite as lucky with the dirty shoes but apart from that it was quite a successful night for geohashing in Frankfurt and Erfurt!
