Location

A path between Neuburg am Rhein and the french border.

Participants

Plans

It's to far away from home to do it by bike or even bull this evening, as I can't start from home before 7 pm. And to go there by car violates my private fuel policy. But on the other hand, this graticule has just a 30 qkm part of Rheinland-Pfalz, and whoever wanted to reach a Regional geohashing achievement for Rheinland-Pfalz or even for the Kreis Germersheim or a Reverse regional achievement for this graticule simply has to go.

So I plan to drive there by car this evening, starting around 7 pm. I'd be happy, if anyone wants to join me, I can offer a free ride from Speyer for up to 6 persons. I can also fetch you from the station in Germersheim or Wörth.

Expedition

I'm not proud of this. Just sitting in a car, driving for an hour, violating my own fuel policy and walk some 300 m (both ways) isn't exactly what's the spirit of geohashing for me, but anyway: this hash is to valuable to let it unused.

Girlfriend and car came home an hour later than expected, and so I headed of at 8 pm. The way was more or less boring. 500 m of the hash I had to turn right to a dirt road which was drivable for 300 additional meters before it turned into a footpath in front of an airfield for model aircrafts. Following the footpath for another 150 m I reached the hash. Air was clear and frech, The moon hasn't rised (it was half past eigth and moonrise is scheduled for 10 pm today), and so it was perfectly dark with only the stars bright above me. The hash was maybe one meter of the path, what was not clearly distinguishable in the dark. Took some - almost horrible - photos, went back to the car and drove home again.
