Location

This Geohash is located in a forest in Porta Westfalica.

Participants

Expedition

Fippe

In the afternoon, I took the train eastwards. Coyotebush boarded the train one station after me, at Osnabrück Central, and we took the train to Porta Westfalica together. While we were in the train, the Dow Jones opened and tomorrow's coordinates dropped, which we promptly checked out. Since I did not bring a bike, I took the bus to Hausberge/Badezentrum and walked the rest of the distance, while coyotebush cycled up the hills.

Those modes of transportation turned out to be roughly equal in speed, so we met again at the spot where we would leave the main path to enter the forest. There was a semi-existing path that led us a bit uphill but at some point ceased to be a path. We stumbled through the forest for a bit until we located the coordinates on a different semi-existing path. We zeroed in, officially shook hands, and recorded proof.

Afterwards, we made our way back to the main path, which was considerably easier than the other way around. While I walked back to the station, coyotebush cycled back down to catch his train to Hannover. I was walking just quick enough to say good bye at the station, and the train to Hannover arrived. It was nice to meet you, coyotebush!

My train was going in the other direction, I took it via Herford to Osnabrück Central, where I started my expedition to 2024-08-20 52 7 in Hasbergen.
