Location
A sidewalk in Berlin-Tegel.
Participants
Retro participants
Plans
Meet at 13:00. Coyotebush plans to arrive by S-Bahn (because the Tegel end of the U6 line is currently replaced by bus service), eat lunch in the area, and check out the Christmas market a block away.
Oh, we so wish we could join you - Susanne and I have checked for cheap quick tickets but didn't succeed. She knows Alt-Tegel well - her aunt lives in Heiligensee and her grandmother used to run the Wassersportheim that's just across the bridge to the west. Enjoy - we're thinking of you :-) Mcbaneg (talk) 19:52, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'll take extra photos for you! Coyotebush (talk) 09:26, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Expedition
- Rain yesterday evening, mist this morning. -- Coyotebush (talk) @52.5224,13.4694 11:26, 8 December 2024 (GMT+01:00)
Among various options to connect to the S25 line, coyotebush decided to bypass central Berlin as much as possible with a cross-platform transfer from the S85 at Bornholmer Str. The S25 route had lots of nice views of gardens.
- No Christmas market to be seen. Lunchtime! -- Coyotebush (talk) @52.5895,13.2819 12:20, 8 December 2024 (GMT+01:00)
After a warming lunch, and in marginally increased precipitation, coyotebush walked the remaining distance to the hashpoint, arriving a few minutes before 13:00. It seemed to be quite close to a gate in a fence. A car was waiting right there, but soon its passenger walked up and it drove away. The next pedestrian was HeNeArXn, who also zeroed in on the gate.
Together they went for a short walk along the Tegeler Hafen and across the Tegeler Insel, remarking on all the fancy homes with private parking spaces. HeNeArXn returned to the U6 bus (having pointed out this substitution will be in effect until 2026) and coyotebush returned to the S-Bahn.
Retro Expedition, 2025-03-16
We had been disappointed not to reach this hashpoint on the original day, since it fell very near where Susanne's mother and aunt grew up and near where her aunt now lives. We coudn't find a way at the time. But this weekend we were visiting the aunt, and my return trip to the airport started at the same U6-replacement bus stop HeNeArXn used. So we asked her aunt to drop us off down at the bottom of Am Tegeler Hafen, and did a retrohash. Sorry we were late, guys :-)
