Plans

I did not plan anything. And things didn't go as planned anyway

Expedition

It was a dark and snowy morning. A friend of mine stayed a few days at my house, and needed to go back to work. The easiest way to do this was by train, so I drove her to the train station. Later that day, I discovered that geohash was a real thing, and not just a not-so-funny XKCD comic. So I checked my local graticule, and saw a marker 600m away from the train station. Just here: https://geohashing.info/2021-01-06/s/z:8/48,7

Then I understood that it was the center of my graticule, and not the geohash. Oh well, not bad either for a first try I guess? I will definitely go geohashing when it will be possible anyway.
