Expedition

π π π

As I already missed out on 2020-09-18 53 10 three days before, I wasn’t going to miss this one. I convinced Leidenfrost to come since he lives nearby. Around midday, I rode the train for 45 minutes to Ohlsdorf and cycled around 15 minutes to the hashpoint, which lay very conveniently on a footpath in a low-income area of Plattenbauten, easily recognisable on maps because of 20 similar wide and tall buildings with huge courtyards, on the outer edge of one of which this hash was located. Leidenfrost arrived at nearly the same time even though I was late, and we easily found the correct spot because of its marker on the map. We took our usual photos (which were terrible because unlike the path, the house was not illuminated by the sun), but failed to get adequate screenshots, because both our phones insisted we were standing about 30 metres away. We talked a little, until Leidenfrost had to leave.

Afterward, I laid an x on the ground for other geohashers, who were unlikely to come but at least a possibility for a hash in the middle of Hamburg. Then, I explored one of the courtyards, the nearby Bramfelder See and finally cycled across Ohlsdorf Cemetery, world‘s largest city cemetery, where I hadn‘t been in a long while. I took my time and discovered a couple of interesting chapels, gravestones and monuments, explored a rather sad children‘s graveyard and the clinker brick Neues Krematorium, until I exited and rode the train home from Ohlsdorf.
