Location

On a muddy field in the south of Munich.

Participants

Expedition

I looked up some upcoming coordinates a few days ago, then I was surprised that those today are really accessible!

So I packed some useful items together and took my bike to get to the spot. I followed a muddy path and then I finally was about 40 meters away. I put my bike aside and went straight on towards the coordinates.

Every step it got harder to walk, I even thought about sinking in this swamp. Then I took some photos, made a screenshot of my GPS and placed a neatly carved stick in the recent ploughed field. I put my email address on it, maybe I'll get some kind of virtual "message in a bottle".

Finally I reached the path again and tried to clean my footwear... Well, I tried it at least.

When I came home, I told my dad of this expedition, because he noticed my dirty shoes. He didn't say anything but grinned...

That was a successful beginner's geohash.

Photos

Me at my first geohash
