Location

Today's hashpoint is in the Schäferstraße, near where it crosses the Julius-Bender-Straße, located in Karlsruhe's suburb Hagsfeld. The exact location seems to be on a hedge seperating the road from a priavte house, wheither it can be reached from the road remains to be seen. It's about 1.6 kilometers from Koepfel's home.

Planning

I plan to bike there at 0:00 for the midnight achievement and walk there again on the following afternoon for daylight-photos and the walk geohash achievement, aiming at 16:00. Maybe I'll also go in the morning for the sunrise achievement (at 5:26).

I look forward meeting you, Koepfel, for a midnight geohash. --Fluxkompensator 20:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Expedition by Koepfel

Report Part 1

I arrived in the Schäferstraße 8 minutes before midinght and the GPS zeroed in right at the hedge. About five minutes later, Fluxkompensator arrived, also by bike. At midnight, I took a screenshot of my GPS, while Fluxkompensator tried to take a photo of his, struggling with its nearly empty battery. After a while, we cycled back home, I arrived at 0:30.

More, with decent pictures, will follow after my daylight, walking expedition this afternoon.
