Revision as of 16:48, 14 September 2013

Location

In Munich, in the Richelstraße, near the Donnersberger Brücke.

Participants

Plans

Zertrin: go there around 4 p.m. for a Saturday meet-up with hope of meeting some other geohashers.

Expedition

Zertrin

After some geohashing inactivity period during summer, and the deception of not being able to reach 2013-09-10 48 11, this new hashpoint in the city and on a street was the perfect occasion to increment my counter of reached hashes.

I planned to go there at 4 p.m. by car, so I could be able to do the speed racer achievement (even if it's limited to only 30 km/h in this street...).

But as soon as I reached the main street near where I live, I realized I forgot one little detail... The motorway I planned to take was closed for the whole weekend because they are destroying a bridge over the motorway (before reconstructing it again anew). And the expected consequences of such a measure were indeed there: all the main and secondary streets around were blocked by traffic jams...

Therefore I finally arrived around the hashpoint at 4h20 p.m. I spotted immediately Almagest and Rkschlotte who were seemingly waiting for me.

After reaching the hash properly and taking the screenshot proof, I set up my camera to take a group picture. Then we used my car to do the speed racer achievement. This was quite easy as we were in a zone where the speed limit is 30 km/h and because the street is quite calm, without much traffic. We however needed to retry it 4 times in order to have a decent picture of the speedometer. Rkschlotte should have a video of the performance :)
