Location

In a field in Karlsruhe's suburb Rüppurr, population 10.000.

Participants

Koepfel (afternoon)
Fluxkompensator (late evening)

Plans

Since this hashpoint seemed easily accessible, both from the east from Rüppurr and from the north from Weiherfeld, I decided to try a tron geohash. I started planning two independent routes there and back on the city map and left my house at 15:00.

Report

Tron achievement was won, hashpoint was reached at 16:00, more to follow.

Here's the Tracklog (.gpx, .kmz, in Google Maps) of the complete expedition. The tracklog is off the road a couple of times, especially on the way home, when I rode between larger inner city houses. On the way there, the track even crosses itself once, when I had to stop abruptly at a traffic light. The GPS didn't realize I stopped and kept drawing the line halfway across the crossroads and then went back to where I was actually waiting. I can assure you, though, that I knew where I was going there and didn't cross my own path, as it's only like one kilometer from my house, so I should know the area,.
