Location

Participants

A RNZ reporter
Koepfel
Ekorren - join in on my ticket!

Plans

Anyone who shows up will probably get a media attention achievement. An RNZ reporter will join me on the expedition. --Fivetonsofflax 15:29, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

That's great! Count me in (as long as it's somewhat reachable) Koepfel _talk 16:08, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Is this going to happen in any case and in the Mannheim graticule? Or, otherwise, when will it be determined whether it will take place and which point the expedition will aim at? --Ekorren 14:38, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

It will take place, most probably in the Mannheim graticule. In case the point will be really far away and easier to reach in another graticule, we might go there. We will decide later today when we know the exact location. Fivetonsofflax 12:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

It's only a 4 km walk from Darmstadt Süd. Count me in! --ilpadre 14:37, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

We'll probably arrive in Darmstad TU-Lichtwiese at 14:50. That should give us enough time to be at the hashpoint at 16:00. Fivetonsofflax 14:51, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I'll walk from Darmstadt Süd and be at the coordinates at 16:00 in any case (depending on if I can catch the 13:21 train in Heidelberg and how fast I walk I'll either have to wait 45 minutes or arrive just in time - but I'll probably be at the hashpoint at about 15:20). --ilpadre 15:11, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh, you're right. Starting from Darmstadt Süd would be smarter. I suppose we'll do this as well. We'll probably also take the 13:21 train. Fivetonsofflax 18:03, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Count me in, too. Might be a more expensive expedition (I'm currently at 15€ both ways for me, from Karlsruhe, unless we find some kind of group ticket?), but it'll be worth it. I'd probably also take the 13:21 one (S-Bahn from KA arrives at 13:11), I wouldn't mind taking an earlier train, though (since we are more than one person, we are allowed to move the saturday meetup time). Koepfel _talk 18:11, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

So we'll probably go all the way together, that's nice! :) It's exactly 3 km from Darmstadt Süd (if you follow the hiking trails the Google maps planner doesn't know about), so we'll only need to walk about 30 to 40 minutes. Fun fact: The hashpoint is only 3.5 km from the 2010-01-06 coordinates (as the ring-necked parakeet flies). Still too far (and too cold) to check if my marker is still there. --ilpadre 18:16, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Ticket

In order to make the whole thing affordable, we can share a Wochenendticket for 37 EUR, which is valid for 5 people.

The ticket will be bought by Ekorren in the morning at Tübingen. Up to four other people may join in along the way.

If we share the ticket, it's only 7.40 per person in average. Less than even a single ticket with BC25 from Heidelberg to Darmstadt. If less than 5 persons join, it's a bit more but still affordable. --Ekorren 21:18, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I'd do this, depending on what tickets the others need from Heidelberg. Koepfel _talk 19:32, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Schedule

Ekorren and Koepfel somehow get to Pforzheim and meet at the central station.

Pforzheim ZOB Mitte dep. 9:20 or 9:50 (Bus 743 or 744)

Büchenbronn Hermannsee arr. 9:38 or 10:09

appr. 1 km each direction to 2010-03-13 48 8

Büchenbronn Bären dep. 11:08 (or earlier, bus goes every 30 minutes)

Pforzheim 11:24 / 11:30 (or 11:46)

Karlsruhe-Durlach 11:46 / 11:54

Bruchsal 12:10 / 12:14

Heidelberg Hbf arr. 12:41(or 13:11)

Heidelberg Hbf dep. 13:21

Darmstadt Süd arr. 14:24

(alternatively to TU-Lichtwiese 14:50 or Mühltal 14:54)

Latest possible train back would be:

Darmstadt Süd 20:33

Heidelberg 21:39 / 21:55

Karlsruhe 22:35 / 23:16

Stuttgart 0:36 / 0:48

Tübingen 1:50

Before that, there are approximately hourly connections.

-So that's totally the wrong part of the graticule, which means I'm out (I don't mind going far, but going to Darmstadt is simply far too expensive.). --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 14:51, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

-In that case I would join as well, if it can be organized as follows:

-* pick up Koepfel somewhere within of the area where his monthly pass is valid (probably Bruchsal)
-* the others join at Heidelberg
-* same thing on the way back
-* everyone pays a share of the total
