I won't even bother asking those of you in the München area ''if'' you're attempting [[2013-01-21 48 11]] but when you'll be there ;) It's even neatly located in a public park of some sort, that's a lucky hit not to be missed. We could attempt some funny achievements if anyone's interested. So - who's in? When will you be there? And what would you propose? Greetings, and have a nice weekend, Münchners :) -[[User:The T-Man|The T-Man]] 09:58, 18 January 2013 (EST)

For this easy hash only a "late" attempt was possible for us. Fortunately the hashpoint was only 400 meter away from where [[User:Zertrin|Zertrin]] had to give a maths lesson between 7 and 8 p.m. On her side, [[User:vermouthandgin|vermouthandgin]] had a lecture at the university until 6:30 p.m. She had also time to reach the hashpoint without hurry.
 +
 
 +
[[User:vermouthandgin|vermouthandgin]] arrived near the hashpoint first, but without GPS, she waited on the road next to it for [[User:Zertrin|Zertrin]] to arrive (with the GPS).
 +
 
 +
While driving the 400 meters between the place where [[User:Zertrin|Zertrin]] gave the lesson and the hashpoint, he spotted [[User:DerFlob|DerFlob]] approaching and then [[User:vermouthandgin|vermouthandgin]], already waiting near the hash. By the time [[User:Zertrin|Zertrin]] parked his car, [[User:DerFlob|DerFlob]] met [[User:vermouthandgin|vermouthandgin]], and [[User:Zertrin|Zertrin]] joined them shortly after. While putting our bags in the car, [[User:DerFlob|DerFlob]] headed to the hash with help of his GPS receiver, and then [[User:Zertrin|Zertrin]] and [[User:vermouthandgin|vermouthandgin]] joined him.
 +
 
 +
There was some hesitation on the exact location of the hashpoint, most probably caused by the big fir tree next to the hash.

Then we waited for the others to come. The wait wasn't long, as some minute later came [[User:Rkschlotte|Rkschlotte]]. We talked a little and then came shortly after [[User:IdealStandard|IdealStandard]], with two folding chairs. We greeted him and he announced that he brought mulled wine. He began to install a camping stove, with help of a portable lamp, in order to heat up the wine in a cooking pot.
<!-- if your GPS device keeps a log, you may post a link here -->
+
 
 +
Meanwhile came [[User:Scherzkeks|Scherzkeks]] and [[User:The T-Man|The T-Man]]. We drank the wine, (thank you again [[User:IdealStandard|IdealStandard]]!) chatting together for a while and taking some group pictures. Then some geohashers had to go back, while the rest of us began to build the snowman.
 +
 
 +
After taking more pictures of the snowman and us, we ([[User:vermouthandgin|vermouthandgin]] and [[User:Zertrin|Zertrin]]) said goodbye to the other geohashers, and headed back home.

On the one hand, we had some really tasty dinner. On the other hand, we were a bit behind our schedule because of that. Additionally, [[User:The T-Man|The T-Man]] once more didn't really succeed at finding the shortest path and got out of the subway one station early. After walking for about 20 minutes, we got to the spot, where everybody else had already arrived. A very, very small snowman had already been set up and [[User:IdealStandard|IdealStandard]] was preparing some hot spiced wine. The wine had finally reached the intended temperature, was given out and enjoyed by everyone. After a couple of minutes of chatting and introducing everybody to each other (after all, [[München|München]] hasn't seen such a large meetup for, well, a very long time), group photos were taken and [[User:rkschlotte|rkschlotte]] had to get back home.
 +
 
 +
The remaining geohashers started building a bigger snowman, which they fortunately had very good conditions for. The snow had exactly the right degree of stickiness and could easily be formed into the respective snowman segments. After taking some pictures of the finished snowman, our belongings were replaced with some natural substitutes that could be left at the scene and we got back home. [[User:Zertrin|Zertrin]] and [[User:vermouthandgin|vermouthandgin]] took off to get something to eat. And [[User:IdealStandard|IdealStandard]], [[User:DerFlob|DerFlob]], [[User:Scherzkeks|Scherzkeks]] and [[User:The T-Man|The T-Man]] got back to the subway, this time not following The_T-Man and therefore taking the shortest route.

On our way back from the office my colleague dropped me off a kilometer from the meeting point. On my walk I searched

and found a Geocache (GC3D745) that is located in the same park area as today's hashpoint. Much to my surprise some people

were already present - this was the first time I was NOT alone while geohashing! :-) Thanks to [[User:IdealStandard|IdealStandard]]

Expedition

vermouthandgin and Zertrin

For this easy hash only a "late" attempt was possible for us. Fortunately the hashpoint was only 400 meter away from where Zertrin had to give a maths lesson between 7 and 8 p.m. On her side, vermouthandgin had a lecture at the university until 6:30 p.m. She had also time to reach the hashpoint without hurry.

vermouthandgin arrived near the hashpoint first, but without GPS, she waited on the road next to it for Zertrin to arrive (with the GPS).

While driving the 400 meters between the place where Zertrin gave the lesson and the hashpoint, he spotted DerFlob approaching and then vermouthandgin, already waiting near the hash. By the time Zertrin parked his car, DerFlob met vermouthandgin, and Zertrin joined them shortly after. While putting our bags in the car, DerFlob headed to the hash with help of his GPS receiver, and then Zertrin and vermouthandgin joined him.

There was some hesitation on the exact location of the hashpoint, most probably caused by the big fir tree next to the hash.

Then we waited for the others to come. The wait wasn't long, as some minute later came Rkschlotte. We talked a little and then came shortly after IdealStandard, with two folding chairs. We greeted him and he announced that he brought mulled wine. He began to install a camping stove, with help of a portable lamp, in order to heat up the wine in a cooking pot.

Meanwhile came Scherzkeks and The T-Man. We drank the wine, (thank you again IdealStandard!) chatting together for a while and taking some group pictures. Then some geohashers had to go back, while the rest of us began to build the snowman.

After taking more pictures of the snowman and us, we (vermouthandgin and Zertrin) said goodbye to the other geohashers, and headed back home.

Scherzkeks and The T-Man

On the one hand, we had some really tasty dinner. On the other hand, we were a bit behind our schedule because of that. Additionally, The T-Man once more didn't really succeed at finding the shortest path and got out of the subway one station early. After walking for about 20 minutes, we got to the spot, where everybody else had already arrived. A very, very small snowman had already been set up and IdealStandard was preparing some hot spiced wine. The wine had finally reached the intended temperature, was given out and enjoyed by everyone. After a couple of minutes of chatting and introducing everybody to each other (after all, München hasn't seen such a large meetup for, well, a very long time), group photos were taken and rkschlotte had to get back home.

The remaining geohashers started building a bigger snowman, which they fortunately had very good conditions for. The snow had exactly the right degree of stickiness and could easily be formed into the respective snowman segments. After taking some pictures of the finished snowman, our belongings were replaced with some natural substitutes that could be left at the scene and we got back home. Zertrin and vermouthandgin took off to get something to eat. And IdealStandard, DerFlob, Scherzkeks and The T-Man got back to the subway, this time not following The_T-Man and therefore taking the shortest route.

Rkschlotte

On our way back from the office my colleague dropped me off a kilometer from the meeting point. On my walk I searched and found a Geocache (GC3D745) that is located in the same park area as today's hashpoint. Much to my surprise some people were already present - this was the first time I was NOT alone while geohashing! :-) Thanks to IdealStandard for the hot spiced wine!
