Expedition

I took the train to Norden and inline-skated the rest of the distance. The borough in which the coordinates are located in is called Ekel. Supposedly the name is related to Eichel (Acorn), but in High German Ekel means disgust. Norden itself of course is a great name for a city as well - it just means north.

I entered a path into a forest where coordinates were located. The path got me close to the coordinates, but not all the way. The actual coordinates were in a wide ditch between the forest and a adjacent field. Going through the field was not an option, I think there were some cows on there.

Going off-path in the forest for roughly 40 meters shouldn't be to hard, and for the most part wasn't, but the final meters were full of thorny bushes. I located the coordinates after descending into the ditch, luckily there was no water inside. After recording proof, I got out of the ditch and got back to the forest path.

Originally I had planned to inline-skate to Norddeich, eat there and take the train back from there, but getting to the coordinates had taken too much time, so I just inline-skated back where I came from. In Norden I ate a fish bun, and afterwards took the train back to Hannover.
