About me
I live in Heidelberg, Germany and will visit hashpoints reachable by bike or foot (I like running long distances) and sometimes those reachable by train. I don't own a GPS yet.
Future Plans
A trip from May 15 to 23 will lead me to and through many graticules: Bad Brückenau, Germany - Paderborn, Germany (only the airport, with no time for detours) - Palma, Spain - Napoli, Italy - Civitavecchia, Italy - Marseille, France - Barcelona, Spain - then back to Bad Brückenau via Palma and Paderborn. I'll take my running gear with me, so there's a small chance for me to take a Mediterranean graticule's virginity.
After that, I'll buy a new bike to replace my rusty three-speed Hollandrad. This will increase my radius of operation greatly.
Achievements to Get
It's always nice to win an achievement along with a successful expedition. For me, some are more desirable than others.
Things to Do at Hashpoints
- Leave a hashtag.
- Combine geohashing with guerilla gardening.
- Leave a hashmark big and durable enough that it can be seen from space. Then wait for the next Google Earth imagery update.
- Revisit old hashpoints and document how the place changed (the above points make revisiting particularly interesting).

Wiki Stuff
I like drawing xkcd-ish images for achievement ribbons. See my gallery of achievement images. I keep looking out for newly created achievements that need a ribbon image, and for old images that could be improved.
To-Do List
Add yet unnamed graticules to the All Graticules list (constantly looking for remote or interesting graticules).
