Plans

Gah! Kids! Let's avoid them and go there late at night. :P -- relet 14:16, 25 August 2009 (UTC) (No, srsly - I have nothing planned right now)

Won't the gate be locked? :-) --davidc 15:50, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually I think this is a different kindergarten? Städtische Kindertagesstätte, Habersaathstr. 5 --davidc

Just checked it out. Vattenfall is digging up the area for miles around but we can get around the back to within 5m of the hash, or directly to the hash point if we step over a low tape barrier. --davidc 17:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

And now which of the kindergartens is it? :D -HiroProtagonist 17:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I would really like to visit yet another nice inner-city hash, but I'm busy from 11.30 am to 4.30 pm, so if we go there either before or after, I'll happily join! :) -HiroProtagonist 17:34, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

david has an appointment in the morning, thus the evening is now preferred. Would 5 pm be okay with relet and anyone else who wants to join? Or rather something later? - HiroProtagonist 18:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

approving late meetup :) 5pm or maybe even 6pm. --pari 19:33, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I shall propose a nearby tavern to meet from 5pm onward where I'll be on my fourth or fifth hobbit meal of the day, then we can wander over to the hash at 6pm. --davidc 19:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Tavern sounds great! Anybody knows a nice place around Hauptbahnhof? -HiroProtagonist 08:15, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Which tavern do you mean? Maybe I'll come around, too. --pari (not logged in) 13:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

o god my head, I think I'll see you at the hash --davidc 14:14, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

6pm is a good plan. :) -- relet 19:53, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Expedition

Written by my hand, this 25th day of Midsummer:
'Twas the eve of battle, and advance scouts issued forth from Mittgard to assess the field. Riding swift and sure through the dwindling twilight, no eye lay claim to their passage, nor did the sound of any hoofbeat reach hostile ear. A mystic scroll they bore, symbols of runic script indecipherable by mortalkind. As they rode it glowed eerily in runes of brillantine silver as they neared their objective. Dismounting now and tethering their horses, they silently crept up the bluff, until they reached the peak and the enemy's arrayed might lay spread below them.	The night before the hash, davidc cycled over to check it was achievable.
The scouts surveying the scene, though the night cold and cheerless, let out a silent chuckle. The paltry display before them, this pitiful army: victory would assuredly be theirs. Marking the size and scale of the enemy's forces on their map, they returned to give their report as the sun made its final setting.	A fence and Vattenfall digging was observed, but a route around the back via a Spielplatz attached to the kindergarten would provide for access to the hashpoint.
The victory party raged long into the night, before the battle even was won. Many an ale was quaffed and the serving wenches buttocks were laid bare in their reddening embarassament as rosy-fingered dawn laid siege to the heavens.	davidc went out and got really drunk, let's hope he makes it tomorrow.

  We were authorized to watch the kindergarden from behind. There was a fence though where there had been a warning tape yesterday. They were building a nice pavillon and a wooden pirate ship.

  Back at the front of the kindergarden. They offer brush massages and treading water.

  The garden gate was open. Rear of kindergarden reached.

  Considering the stuffing of this phoneInternet box

• 

  Vattenfall is excavating for new warm water pipes

• 

  They have an impressive chimney, but not much of a building attached

• 

  Internet box close-up

• 

  Internet box stuffing succeeded.. just the aperture of my phone is not really great. Out of five people geohashing, no one carried a real camera today. :P
