Location

Today's hashpoint is located in a field in the Rheinland-Pfalz village of Niederschlettenbach. Next station is Bundenthal-Rumbach, which however is only served on Sundays. The next regular-served station is Wissembourg.

Expeditions

Koepfel

Planning

I will take the train to WIssembourg and then bike about 14 kilometers to Niederschlettenbach.

  • Leave Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhpf at 9:34, take a Regionalbahn to Winden, from there a Regionalbahn to Wissembourg, arriving at 10:28.
  • Then I'll ride to the Hashpoint. Since the area around Niederschlettenbach is not exactly flat land, this might take a little longer.
  • Trains back from Wissembourg leave at *:33, every hour.
  • Depending on when I'm back in Karlsruhe I might still go on 2009-04-18 49 8, which seems easier. Take the bike into the Stadtbahn S4 to Zaisenhausen, from there it's about 4 kilometer to the Hashpoint.

Update at 06:39, 18 April 2009 (UTC): As I woke up this morning, I heard the sound of raindrops falling on my window. Looks like this is going to be a Drowned Rat Geohash.

Live from the Expedition

  • and it was a drowned rat geohash. Coordinates were reached in pouring rain at about 12:00. Now back on the train home, to change clothes --koepfel 11:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
  • just arrived in karlsruhe. Somehow i'm getting used to wet clothes, so i now will continue with the 14:36 s4 to the next hashpoint --koepfel 12:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
  • \o/ hashpoint #2 (in 49 8) was reached at about 16:10. I'm now back at the station heading home. --koepfel 14:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
