Expedition

Fippe

I took the bicycle to Langenhagen. I first travelled along the Midland Canal. As soon as I left the canal, I was unlucky to ride next to a street with a motorcade. I asked a police man what was going on, thinking they might be football fans, but it turned out they were anti-restrictions-during-a-pandemic protestors. Soon I lost them, and in Langenhagen I passed the airport before the path led me into a forest. A police car passed me, and turned around, passing me again. DLichti and I arrived at the site at exactly the same time from opposite directions.

The Geohash was located a few steps next to a path, we had to jump over a ditch. We located the coordinates and recorded proof. We talked a while, some people walked by with their dogs. Other than them, nobody else showed up. Afterwards, we left, this time both of us going in the direction DLichti arrived from. A police car passed us. Lot's of police today. Our paths separated, and after a stop at the university I went back home.

I took out my bike at around 15:00, a little early to be able to do some OSM mapping on the way. But soon I realized, that this would take much more time than I had anticipated. My way took me under the Approach Landing System of runway 09L of Hanover Airport. Unfortunately, there was no air traffic, and thus, not much to see. As I turned into the forestry track leading to the hash site, I saw someone coming from the other direction. It was Fippe. We managed to arrive simulatneously from different directions at around 15:45.

We left our bikes on the side of the track to jump over the ditch and find the exact location. There was nothing special to see, but we took some time talking and waiting for other geohashers. Nobody came, so after half an hour, we took the road again to ride home. In the next town, we parted. I stopped at several bus stops, mail boxes, crossing and roundabouts to add some details to OpenStreeMap. At around 17:30, I was home again.
