Hello there!

About Me

My trusted bicycle

I'm 21 years old and I live (and, by the way, have always lived) in wonderful München, Germany (48, 11). However, I also do much of my geohashing in the Innsbruck (47, 11) graticule, too. In my free time, I like to play the acoustic guitar, run, cycle or read about chemistry, spaceflight, medicine or other sciency stuff. After doing some not-so-volounteer work in a hospital and undergoing a short paramedic training, I decided to study medicine. Which I'm currently doing at LMU and TU of Munich. I occasionally update my former employee's website, volounteer at our local emergency ambulance and am currently looking for another side job. This site was recommended to me by DerFlob who I'm occasionally visiting hashpoints with. Since I love cycling and hiking, I hope those will be my preferred ways of traveling. Trains, however, are awesome as well!

Equipment

I'm currently using:

• A Garmin eTrex Hiking GPS (which I think is a great GPS, especially since it's kinda waterproof)
• A Panasonic DMC-TZ5 digital camera (which takes good enough pictures for my purposes - and gladly proved to get along with slight water contact rather well)
• A Rixe XC 10.0 cross bike. Got it in fall of 2011 and will hopefully use it for lots of expeditions in 2012.

Hashcards

I'll gladly forward my adress to anyone seeking the hashcard achievement. Since I'm also aiming to get the achievement, I'd also be glad for any adresses / requests submitted to me.

Plans

Long-Term

• I will be in Paris from April 3rd to April 8th and continue to London via Eurostar until April 11th together with Scherzkeks. Of course, this is supposed to be a "normal" vacation, but I doubt I will ignore hashpoints that are convenient to reach.
• Reaching my Origin Hashpoint in a village N of Ingolstadt. Not very easy to reach, though.

Short-Term

no expeditions planned for the next couple of days

Achievements

• Water geohash: There are some noteable lakes in the Innsbruck graticule. Since I don't really possess a water vehicle, reaching a hashpoint in one of those would be a bit tricky, but surely not impossible.

Past Expeditions

(most recent last)

• 2010-03-13 47 11 A nice trip to southern Bavaria using public transport. Built an awesome snowman with DerFlob. Also first geohash I've been on.

• 2010-03-17 48 11 Went there with Johanna and DerFlob. Failed because the haspoint was in a restricted parking area for workers of the nearby HypoVereinsbank corporate headquarters. Spent a nice time with fellow geohasher Robert though.

• 2010-03-21 48 11 A short, but yet pleasant trip to Furth together with Johanna (just south of München) where we met DerFlob and later Zb and his drag-along Mar.

• 2010-03-27 48 11 Went to the village of Geisenbrunn outside the west of München with DerFlob by bike. Had to encounter heavy headwinds and was happy to ride back home by train.

• 2010-04-10 48 11 Reached a hashpoint 2 km away from my home by gaining access to an old lady's garden through the means of diplomacy.

• 2010-09-06 48 11 On the grave of Mr and Mrs Adam, in a woodland cemetery near Solln S of München.

• 1990-11-24 47 11 Made it to my displaced origin hashpoint near Geretsried in southern Bavaria while I was around. Also a bit creepy and freezing.

• 2011-02-06 48 11 Went to a hashpoint in a forest SW of München with Johanna and DerFlob. Awesome weather!

• 2012-03-01 47 11 Connected this one with a visit to my mum. Hashpoint was near Gmund at Tegernsee. Such beautiful weather!

• 2012-03-14 48 11 Pi(e)-day geohash with DerFlob and Johanna in Bergkirchen NW of München. Great sunset!

• 2012-03-17 47 11 Took public transport together with Scherzkeks, DerFlob, Locationmaster (on his first geohash) and two parents as drag-alongs to the Ammersee lake during the beginning of spring. Hashpoint was located in a nice broad-leaved forest.

• 2012-03-21 48 11 Cycled to Forstenrieder Park S of München and met DerFlob there. Robert was there, too, but later and without our knowledge.
