Participants

• Zertrin

Plans

• What about a 3-day Consecutive geohash achievement, plus Midnight achievement and even (if lucky) snowman achievement ? vermouthandgin and I are planning to attempt this opportunity of double geohash in 48,11/48,12. We would aim for the first at around 11:30 p.m. If we do the expedition or not will still depend on the weather not becoming worse. — Zertrin 08:51, 12 January 2013 (EST)

Er, wow, that's very ambitious of the two of you. I actually hadn't given a lot of thought to the locations for 12-14th Jan. Without a car readily at hand, they all seemed quite impractical to do. Unfortunately, I'm swamped for tomorrow, but usually weekday afternoons work quite well for me. In case you're still on it, good luck and have fun with the snowman (because it really is fun). -The T-Man 14:38, 12 January 2013 (EST)

Expedition

After having reached the previous hashpoint which was only about 2 km from this one, we took the car again and parked at about 600 meters of the hash. We followed a farmer's path along a field to reach the woodland where the hash was awaiting us. Time was running fast as I wanted to make it at exactly midnight.

Hopefully this woodland was much more easy to enter compared to the one we did 2 days ago, and we reached the hash at exactly midnight (see pictures below).

We took the mandatory pictures, including a tiny snowman we managed to build in spite of the lack of snow around the hashpoint :)

Finally we headed back to our car and drove back to Munich uneventfully.

Achievements

Zertrin and vermouthandgin earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching 3 consecutive hash points starting on 2013-01-11.

Zertrin and vermouthandgin earned the Midnight Geohash achievement by reaching the (48, 12) geohash on 2013-01-13 in the middle of the night.

Zertrin and vermouthandgin earned the Snowman Geohash Achievement by building a snowman at the (48, 12) geohash on 2013-01-13.

Zertrin and vermouthandgin achieved level 1 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement by visiting coordinates in München, Germany and 1 of the surrounding graticules.

Is it true that Zertrin and vermouthandgin earned the Frozen Geohash? In principle, yes. But they didn't bring the thermometer on that expedition (2013-01-13 48 12).
