Location

A field surrounded by diggers near the nature reserve Vehnemoor.

Participants

Plans

Because the geohash was close to my home, I tried to reach it by bike.

Expedition

I rode along the Küstenkanal for some kilometres, then I crossed the nature reserve Vehnemoor. It has an impressive size, although I already had been there one year ago. (Oldenburg, with it’s hundred thousands inhabitants, isn’t much greater.) In the past someone mined peat there, but a few days ago they decided to stop peat mining in Niedersachsen. There are still some lonely diggers which I tried to catch with the camera. The field railway looks adventurous and the road there tries to gulp your bike’s tires if you are too slow. After I had reached the geohash, I spotted some more diggers. To prove the location, I used nearby street signs again, since STUPIDMAP V2.0 isn’t suited well for proving anything. Proof of date: Upload time of picture and my promise that I wasn’t there already saturday.
