Expedition

pah visited the (53,8) graticule on Geohashing weekend, but didn’t have enough time (or means of transport) to reach the Geohash on Saturday. While continuing his journey towards Cologne, he noticed that today’s hash was easy to reach by train, so he took a small detour from Bremen towards Bremerhaven.

After getting off the train in Bremerhaven-Wulsdorf, pah walked about two kilometers towards the hash. Most of the way followed a small “forest” or rather a small stretch of trees between streets and buildings through Wulsdorf. When he approached the hash until about 20 meters, he had to leave the well-maintained small road and follow a small path between the trees. o his surprise, he did not have to leave these paths at all and the hash lay right next to path. He took some pictures, prepared a small hash marker and followed the path to the next street.

From there, he had a nice walk through the Fischereihafen, then took a bus to the “Weserstrand” to visit the sea, which — of course — was not really there due to low tide. He still enjoyed a beer in the sun close to the beach, walked back to the main station and took the train back to Bremen and then further onwards to Cologne. All in all a nice off-by-one Geohashing day experience!

Achievements

pah earned the Geohashing Day Off-By-One Consolation Prize by celebrating at the (53, 8) geohash on 2022-05-22.

Is it true that pah earned the XKCD-100 Achievement? In principle, yes. But he traveled the majority of the >900 km on 2022-05-21 while reaching the meetup one day late (Sunday) (2022-05-22 53 8).
