Plans

Going there by train. Good location for MikroKosmos, if he's still active.

MikroKosmos: Yes, perhaps I will go there after work.

If you tell me when you will arrive, I can try to be there at the same time. --π π π (talk) 11:09, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Expedition

Since MikroKosmos had not written when he would arrive, I planned to go there at hash o'clock (4 pm), which is also near the end of a usual workday, I think. I took three trains to Garstedt and then cycled the last 1.2 km to the hash, arriving at 15:57. It lay on the grass on/next to a playground belonging to an apartment building, 7 m from a public path, and was freely accessible. No one was there. I located the coordinates and took some photos with my Hashhogs. A slippery balance beam was situated only a few metres from the geohash, don't think I've seen that before on a playground. The cold wind was biting my skin when I had my gloves off, so I went and collected some sticks to spell XKCD on the ground, should MikroKosmos arrive later. A few residents noticed me, but nobody seemed to care about me decorating their communal lawn. I waited around for a while, checking the wiki and listening to my audiobook, but at 4:30 it seemed like my hands were about to freeze off and I headed back. I spent some time at Herold-Center shopping mall, where Garstedt station is located, warming my fingers, reading in books, and looking for a new jersey before checking the wiki again and then taking the trains home.
