A geohash only 1.2 km from my home! And I literally was on that exact field just a few months ago while jogging, only 75 m from the hash – in fact, I think this was the last field I‘ve been on, excluding geohashing expeditions! What is the chance of that‽
Apart from being my second close miss of a Couch Potato Geohash honorable mention, this is also my 4th geohash in my hometown.
As this hash is extremely convenient for me, I will be going for the „uncomfortable“ achievements I‘m still missing, including Midnight, Sunrise, Hobbit, Formal attire, and maybe a few others (on at least three different occasions, it‘s 5 minutes by bike).

"Should I really ride my bicycle for 30 km to Henstedt and back home, just to reach a geohash?" I decided to name it "sport after work". The weather was dry and not very cold. Without GPS I cycled to Rhen and then I followed the streets I had in mind. The street Suhrrehm led me across the fields, then I turned right and reached the field of grass. I pushed my bike forward 80m until I reached the intended position below a big oak. After some back and forth moving, I got the hash coordinates on the GPS and took photos. Some minutes later another man on a bicycle came into view. Like somehow expected ;-) it was Pi Pi Pi. We introduced ourselves and talked a while about geohashing. Then I started for my 15 km ride back home in the twilight.
