Plans

Reach the Midnight double.

Expedition

Once again, 26th and 27th of February provided a great opportunity of achieving Midnight Double Geohashes, the two hashes being only 10 km away from each other.

We decided not to let the month of February have a score of zero for Munich's graticule and thus to attempt both of these hashes.

We departed at a bit after 11 p.m. toward the first hash. We found a little parking along the road 471 not too far away from the access to the bike path. This one was quite an easy one as it was located right next to the bike path along the Isar river. However, due to the regular snowfalls in Munich this winter, we still had to deal with a thick cover of snow in which we easily sank by 15 to 20 centimeters.

After reaching the hashpoint, taking the usual pictures (included some long exposure pictures to transform the night into daytime), we headed back to the car in order to attempt the next geohash on the next day.
