Upcoming Locations and Expedition Planning

• 2010-01-09 49 8 (Saturday): Near a creek, between Reilsheim and Mauer. ilpadre thinks about walking there (13 km) and taking a train back from Reilsheim to Heidelberg. But after having just recovered from a cold and considering there will probably be massive snowfall tomorrow, this might be a bit too ambitious.

I'm currently considering going to heidelberg for the weekend and do the saturday one, too. Otherwise, 2009-01-10 49 8. Koepfel _talk 15:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm at HD, have group ticket (5p). Will go. PLease call for details. --Ekorren 15:52, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

If we want to be back in Heidelberg by 16:00, we have to be on the train back home by 15:00. Closest station seems to be Mauer, not Reilsheim, as Ekorren has a ticket for the complete vrn area, it doesn't matter anyway. Trains leave mauer at *:02 and *:32. So we should reach the hashpoint by at least 13:30, giving us enough time to document and return to the station. Now, as it is unclear, weither the hashpoint is north or south of the Elsenz River, we should plan extra time in case we have cross the river (which means, walk ~1 km to the next bridge). I'd suggest trying to access it from the south first. This would mean, that we have to be in Mauer by 12:00. If you leave Heidelberg Main station at 11:34, you'd be in Mauer by 11:54. As for me, I plan to arrive from Karlsruhe, via Eppingen. If I leave Karlsruhe Kronenplatz at 10:32, I'd arrive in Mauer by 12:01, where we could meet and head to the hashpoint. For the way back to Heidelberg, I'd join you, using Ekorren's ticket. Koepfel _talk 19:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
