I'll be just jogging there after the sunset, no special plans, no exact times. I'm sorry I just saw your plans, but anyway I couldn't be there since I'm currently at work --Guga2112 (talk) 07:15, 8 January 2014 (EST)

I came back home from work at around 5pm. I already intended to jog 6km today, and when I saw the Geohash was exactly 2.9km from my home I thought to myself, hey, why not. The only problem is that these 2.9km were EXTREMELY STEEP. However, I thought a little bit of jogging uphill would be a nice training, so I put on my gear and left.
After 18 minutes where I was pondering how overrated breathing is, I approached the hashpoint and slowed down. It was extremely dark and I couldn't see the paths that brought to the hash. Then I noticed it: the dreaded fence. Nobody was there to help me, it was too late and even if there were anybody I hardly think I would have been able to explain what I was trying to do in German. So I went to the nearest publicly accessible point (48m away, according to my GPS) and took a nice picture of Zurich by night seen by the Hönggerberg mountain. Taking night pictures with a mobile phone isn't anyway that easy.
Coming back home, instead, was a piece of cake. 3kms of downhill jog, my knees and ankles still hurt, but hey, at least I was able to break my personal pace record :D
