Location
In Köfering, on what looks like a farm yard or small industrial facility. Might not be accessible, but the option of meeting Dawidi in Regensburg still makes it worth trying.
Participants
The current überplannen
The current plan is this: Robyn, Wade & Ekorren will arrive at Köfering either at 15:22 via München where they will have locked up their luggage.
[The alternate plan was to arrive at 15:29 via Ingolstadt and Regensburg. (Robyn wanted to say "about 15:25" to include both plans but Ekorren made her type it precisely, saying it was insufficiently German, if she didn't). This plan would involve Wade and Robyn having to take their luggage to the geohash.]
It is 1.5 km from the Köfering Bahnhof to the geohash. One hundred metres from the geohash is a bus stop where we can catch a bus to Regensburg at 16:13 or 16:43, (25 minute trip).
More details below.
We basically decided to go via München, unless zb very much objects. This is the schedule:
Tübingen 9:15 ... Ulm 11:02 / 11:24 München 13:22 / 13:44 Eggmühl 14:59 / 15:12 Köfering 15:22 (walk to hash and then to the busstop) Köfering Schloss 16:13 by bus Regensburg Hbf 16:40 (or get off a stop earlier which might be closer to the centre)
This variant has several advantages: It allows to leave the luggage at München, which makes the walking part easier and faster, and there are 7 minutes more of time at Köfering. Together with using the bus back it will give us enough time at Köfering to not be in a hurry, and still leaves about 3 hours at Regensburg. --Ekorren 18:47, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
The general idea
Robyn and Wade from Vancouver, Canada, are in Germany and plan to travel from the Heidelberg or Tübingen area to München. As can be expected from geohashers with attitude (GWA), they don't just take the straight connection, but want to (i) see stuff on the way and (ii) log successful geohashes while doing so. As of 2010-10-23, they are exploring BaWü with Ekorren and plan to leave his home graticule on Monday morning. Ekorren found out that it would be possible to meet dawidi in Regensburg, see lots of beautiful ancient bricks there and head on to this location before continuing on to München in 48 11. zb has the day off, so he can meet the group along the way. Everyone is happy if others join in somewhere along the way. --Zb 08:48, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Schedules
See the überplannen above. Getting to München from Regensburg after going sightseeing there will not be so hard that we have to figure out the details before. --Zb 19:53, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Tickets
Ekorren, for what parts of the trip will you have your own tickets? Are you using an IC/ICE from München to Ulm at night? I'm thinking about bringing a By-Ticket to Ulm, which would have to have my name on it, could be used by us throughout the day and would also be good for Robyn, Wade and me in München after we get to München Hbf. --Zb 18:13, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
- I won't have any other ticket than the Bayern-Ticket for Bayern. Current plan is:
- Go to Ulm with the Bayern-Ticket on a late train (22:02 from München, 0:01 at Ulm)
- Buy a ticket for the IC from Ulm to Plochingen, pretending to want to continue to Tübingen by RE with the Baden-Württemberg-Ticket from the morning
- Try to convince DB to pay for a taxi from Stuttgart to Tübingen because the IC was late and missed the train to Tübingen (this might be different in case the RE waits for the IC. The IC being in time is something that basically doesn't happen, though)
