Location
On the very edge of a forest near Tangstedt in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. There is really nothing around for kilometers other than a few houses and fields.
Participants
Me (Leidenfrost (talk)) and Gumbledalf (talk) who has been my accomplice for these three hashes and the bunch of retrohashes.
Plans
We planned on visiting this Geohash after attending University that day, by taking our bikes along and biking a certain way home.
Expedition
This is also exactly how it went. After nervously watching the recent Geohashes since about three weeks now, we finally found one which we could reasonably achieve. So we set out for this illustrious point after attending Uni for two lectures, in which time seemed to stand still, to afterwards rush to our bikes and speed to the train, which was, to our dismay, but not to our surprise, filled to the brim with commuters. After finally extracting ourselves from the huddle of people, we found ourselves at our final stop. As it was getting dark and cold, much to my personal dislike, as I only put on a T-Shirt in the morning, we hurriedly biked a dozen kilometers or so to our destination. During the ride, it, at multiple times, seemed to start to rain, only to cease before anything could develop. We miraculously both survived the trip dry and were finally at the conceptualized place we both had set out to arrive at. We got our our bikes, went into the nearby barren field, and only had to walk a score to arrive. The Hash was just at the edge of the nearby forest, which almost invited us to step over its boundary and claim the Geohash, which we promptly did. We played a bit around with the coordinates until we were both content with them, officially claimed it at around 19:45, took a few photos, lay an “xkcd” on the ground with sticks and off we went. We only rode a few kilometers home and we both arrived before nightfall.
