• 
• I started planning my tour using a bicycle map where I marked the locations as close as I could
• 
• Start point in front of our house. Yes I wore that T-Shirt intentionally.
• 
• Beautiful view over Estenfeld and Würzburg in the background.
• 
• Again view over Estenfeld and Würzburg, but pretty zoomed in. You can make out Fortress Marienberg.
• 
• I came across an Exhibition where quite many people looked at tractors and combine harvesters.
• 
• Bavarian blue sky. The barely visible building with the arrow (old silo) was another station onwards to the Geohash.
• 
• The old silo up front.
• 
• One single completely red apple in an otherwise fruit free tree.
• 
• Entry to Dipbach, the village closest to the Geohash .
• 
• Almost there - The point is somewhere on the left in the corn field.
• 
• That's how close I got without using a GPS and navigating only with my Map.
• 
• So I had to go in there to reach the point.
• 
• The first few steps were easy...
• 
• ... but it became quite hard to move through the crops without damaging them.
• 
• Target reached (to the best possible result as the GPS signal was quite weak.)
• 
• XKCD carved into the soil, little hard to read though
• 
• Silly grin at the hash location
• 
• On my way back some bigger clods showed up.
• 
• Home again. Just in time before the rain started.
