Preface

On this weekend, I travelled to the Rhein-Main area and reached coordinates in five new graticules in less than 24 hours:

• 2022-06-11 50 9 in Weichersbach, 11:57
• 2022-06-11 50 8 in Rosbach vor der Höhe, 16:11
• 2022-06-11 50 7 in Friedrichssegen, 21:48

• 2022-06-12 49 9 in the Waldaschaffer Forest, 10:11

Expedition

Early in the morning, I woke up. Not as early as I wanted (4:00) but still early enough (4:37) to leave the appartment at 5:00. I took the train south, via Göttingen, Bebra and Schlüchtern. On the way to Göttingen I got some sleep. A boy asked his parents if the next train, to Bebra, was the longest train in the world. Indeed, the train was a two-parter where the second part split off and went to Kassel, but I don't think it broke any records. Shortly before 11:00, I arrived in Sterbfritz.

From there, I walked the rest of the distance to Weichersbach. First down the hills while having a great view, then through the village, and then up another hill, where I had a similarly grest view but from the other side. The meadow at the destination was mowed, and it was easy to reach the coordinates.

Afterwards, I left for 2022-06-11 50 8 in Rosbach vor der Höhe.
