Hello ! Today 16Uhr ?

War mein aufruf heute,da die Kummunikation unter https://geohashing.site ja schwierig ist !

Was für ein Glück das an einem Samstag in meiner Stadt ein Hash ist, dachte ich mir und fuhr mit dem Radel zur Hash-Event Location ! Mit unserer Geocache "Angel" sollte wir mit unserem Handy bis zur mitte der Innerste kommen ! Leider waren da schon welche schneller ! Eine ganze Familie schwamm schon um den Geohash !

Nachdem wir unsere Note für alle Geohasher hinterlegt hatten, also die Angel aufgebaut, als plötzlich neben uns ein Hasher neben uns auftauchte und sich bis auf die Badehose auszog ! Er war wirklich Freaky geung in die Eiskalte Innerste zu springen ! Aber wie ich zu mir und meiner Famlie sagte: " Mann muss sein Hobby schon ernst meinen ! "

Naja die reihenfolge war ein bischen anders, aber hier noch ein paar Bilder :

Jetzt noch das Wichtigste !!! Danke Fippe das Du da warst ! Danke an den Frisch übernommenen plattform betreiber, nachdem der Server gehackt wurde ! Und Klasse es war unser erster Hash und erstes Event und dann noch auf einem Fluss ! Ps.: bissel gross der Beitrag ;-)

Since the coordinates were in the river, I put on some trunks and took the bicycle to Hildesheim. The weather was perfect - good enough to make the trip, but bad enough to prevent normal people being at the river.

Imagine my surprise when I saw three people at the site of the Geohash! At first, I thought they were fishing, so I tried getting as close to the coordinates as I could. It turned out that they were standing on the spot on the river bank closest to the coordinates. I also overheard parts of their conversation - "this is Geohashing, not Geocaching". Relieved, I introduced myself as a fellow Geohasher. The others, JoDaEmPa, were a family of Geocachers on their first Geohashing expedition. We had a chat for a while, and took some proof and pictures.

JoDaEmPa reached the coordinates by putting a phone on a long selfie stick. I had a different method, and swam to the coordinates and back. My first Water Geohash! In order to also achieve an Underwater Geohash, I completely submerged for a moment. After getting out again, I changed in some bushes and it started to rain. We sought shelter under a tree and talked some more, and when the rain stopped, JoDaEmPa left.

I ate my lunch and afterwards rode my bike back home, but not without stopping at Hildesheim's UNESCO world cultural heritage site, St. Michael's Church.
