While at university on 9 August, the hash location came out and we noticed that it's less than 5 m away from the railway for the train we ride almost every day. We figured that as the accuracy for most GPS devices isn't much higher, maybe it would count as a Déjà vu achievement if we reached it again on Sunday (as with 2019-07-05 53 10 a month earlier, we didn't know visiting the location two days prior while the coordinates are out doesn't count since the requirements were changed). But I still wanted to reach the actual hashpoint and not just drive past it, 4.8 m away (± ~20 cm because I'm not sure how much the train juts out above the railtrack). So as we took the train home, we pressed ourselves against the window and I tried to take a photo of the location, but failed.
Two days later, on 11 August, we set out again in the evening on the A1 again. I got off at Schnelsen and cycled the 1.2 km to the hashpoint, hurrying because I wanted to catch the next train back, while Leidenfrost stayed on the train. To get to the hash I had to enter the path to a specific row house, which I only found on the third try, then pass a private garden. I looked out to make sure no one saw me, then made my move and ran the 10 m to the earth wall separating the railtrack from the garden. There, I had to climb through some shrubbery and found the location. I took some photos of the house and the tracks, then hurried back and cycled 1.5 km to Hörgensweg (taking a wrong turn on the way), where I met up with Leidenfrost and reached just in time to get the train back. Passing the hash again, I took a video, which unfortunately apparently didn't get saved. So I don't have proof I actually took the train that day, but I did reach the hash twice if you count a distance of less than 5 m as acceptable. Then, not even having to do anything except board a train definitly counts as an Easy Geohash.

Is it true that Leidenfrost and π π π earned the Déjà vu achievement?
