On the parking of Ziegeleipark (Brickworks museum & park) Mildenberg. This should be a nice complement to our former visit at the brickworks in Glindow in 52 12.

webcam - could that be the parking space?
Participants
Plans
There is a webcam. And a museum open 12-16. The opportunity for hashcards may arise.
I am planning to set off in Berlin at roughly 11am, probably by car. Whose it shall be is yet to be determined, but there are always carsharing options at Hauptbahnhof.
Expedition
After explaining all the awesomeness of visiting another brickworks museum to lyx, and an elaboration of the possible activities to do, relet managed to convince lyx to join him. Phoenix was convinced with a short message mentioning the coordinates and a call in the morning to confirm the availability of fair weather. And so it happened that Phoenix picked us up, a little after noon, and we drove to Mildenberg.
We parked on the official car park, in the location where relet expected the hash to be. After turning on a GPS however, we discovered that the car park must have grown since the creation of the satellite photos, and the hash location turned out to be rather close to a huge billboard advertising the brickworks park.
The hash itself lay about five meters in front of the billboard, with a slight slant towards the exit. And so we gathered, took the obligatory photos (yet to be uploaded by Phoenix) and left a card.
Our next station was the location of the webcam, which we would soon have identified as the entrance of the museum. Having read that the webcam took an update every ten minutes, and knowing that there had been a picture taken at a 10:59:54, we assumed that it would capture us roughly every full ten minutes. So we gathered at 13:59, holding our marker into the camera, and waited for two minutes. Which is when it got cold. We then left the marker on the ground, while relet tried to have our success confirmed by the IRC crowd.
