Expedition

Fippe

In the morning, I took the train via Herford, Altenbeken and Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe to Uder. In Hann. Münden, a familiar Geohasher boarded the train: It was Georg! We continued our journey to Uder together, where I left the train and Georg stayed on in order to take a different route.

From the train station in Uder, I walked the rest of the distance, up a hill overlooking the river Leine. To get to the coordinates, I could either walk through the forest or around it. I went for the latter option, walking along a rather steep path and once I reached the border of the forest and the field, along the edge of the field.

Initially, I did not see anyone else as I approached the coordinates, but Torodeas emerged from the shadows as I advanced towards him. He had been seeking shade under the trees on the edge of the forest. I located the coordinates a bit more towards the field, while Torodeas located them a bit more into the forest, but all within accuracy. We shook hands at the coordinates and talked, and Torodeas shared some brioche with me.

Georg had previously informed me that he was not likely to make it all the way to the destination. After a while, Torodeas and I decided to check if he had made it to the closest point on the main path, and we indeed found him there. Now, Torodeas and Georg introduced themselves to each other. After hanging out there for a while, we assumed that it was unlikely that more people would show up, and left shortly after 15:00, heading back to the train station.

At the station, Torodeas and Georg earned themselves the Geotrash Geohash. Georg and I said Goodbye to Torodeas, who boarded a train heading toward Erfurt, while we took a train in the other direction. I said Goodbye to Georg in Hann. Münden, and continued towards Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe. From there, I took the train via Altenbeken and Herford back home to Osnabrück.
