Planning
The hashpoint is in that tiny area of Würzburg city district that is in the 49 10 graticule and which has eluded me for 10 years. With 1.54 km2 = 0.02 % of the graticule area, a hashpoint falls there every 15 years on average. Now that I've been living in Dresden for a few years I didn't expect to ever reach a spot there. Imagine my surprise when that rare chance occurs exactly on the day I have to drive from my parents' place (49 8) where I was for Christmas back to Dresden!
To visit the spot, I'll take the route via Würzburg instead of via Gießen and Erfurt, it's only 10 minutes longer so not even a detour. My plan is to park the car near the prison and then take a walk on the grass stip along the wall for a few seconds to reach the spot. I hope there are no signs forbidding walking on the grass strip and that the guards don't get suspicious when I get near the wall. The guard towers are placed so that the guards can see the spot. I will probably not take pictures directly at the spot as that would be very suspicious to them. If they do, I guess I'll get the Police Geohash achievement and I'll try to recruit them to geohashing.
