Location
On a small dirty field on the edge of Hammerstedt.
Plans
Juja will cycle there after work, hopefully arriving before sunset and getting back home soon enough for a big noodly dinner. Geohashing company and invitations to big noodly dinners are welcome!
Participants
- Juja, Benjy and Frankie Mouse
Expedition: Juja
Chances were that today's Geohash point could be on private property - the satellite picture looked like someone's abandoned garden patch. But I still don't have the Ambassador achievement, so I thought I'd give it a try anyway.
I started right after work and promised Reinhard to send him a message if the point would not be accessible. I know the way to Hammerstedt, so getting there was no problem, and even finding the place... well, I followed my Edgie in low-zoom mode and was just about to congratulate myself for having found the patch and being able to ride my bike right to the point when I zoomed in and noticed that this was obviously another one - the real point was still 50 meters away. And there were fences. So I pushed my bike back on the road and was about to give up and text Reinhard about my failed Geohashing attempt when I noticed that the fence just... vanished after 30 meters. What was left could have been someone's garden, but if it was, it was a really unprivate and uninhabited garden and so I didn't hesitate to go to the hash, take my photos and mark the way afterwards with a piece of chalky stone I found nearby. Successful Geohash, yay!
