In the afternoon I went to the today's geohash location by bicycle and child's trailer (including child ;-)). The weather conditions were challenging as it started to snow in the morning. And what I did not realise looking on the satellite photos of google maps before I startet: I chose a route over the Hummelberg. Up the Hummelberg I took a road, which was not ploughed(?, from the snow) at all. That wouldn't have been a big problem if there wasn't ice underneath the snow (still from the freezing rain on New Year's Eve). It was so extremely slippery that it was absolutely impossible to ride the bike (with trailer), and it was even very, very, very hard to push the bike upwards. Somehow and quite slow I made it up that hill and later at about 16:45 I reached the geohash as it already started to get dark. The way back I took another route. :-)
