Plans

Noticed the hash on noon, will go for a long run (approximately ~15km back and forth) in the evening before sunset. 15km are twice the distance I usually run, so I will limit myself to running very slowly (probably 7:00min/km) in order to avoid hurting myself. This means it will take me almost 2 hours.

With this hash, I can finally get the 49,10 graticule which I attempted once in my last attempt before stopping geohashing for 6 years. As I moved from Tübingen to Erlangen in those 6 years and live very close to 49,10 it is now much easier to get this graticule and was just a matter of time to get a hash close to the graticule border.

Also, this is my first hash where I will try "run" to and not just walk. Need to lookup if there is an extra achievement for this ;)

Expedition

I didn't run. This had two reasons: First, I started to late and would have probably gotten into darkness. No problem, I have a headlight, but not really fun, too. Second, I already wrote above that I am running regularly, but never 15km and you can easily hurt yourself if you overdo running. So I made a bicycle tour which was a good idea because it started to rain on the way back and I just returned before getting completly soaked.

However, before I started I noticed that I can try the Tron achievement! I would have to drive a little more distance, but the tour itself was pretty normal, except that it was the first time I had to take my bicycle with me while crossing a field. The way back was worse than the way to the geohash because I trusted OpenStreetmap and used some "roads" which turned out to be overgrown tractor tracks. After some time I got back to a road which was cyclable and drove home.
