Location

Hash is in a parking lot in the town center of Erfurt. Extremely reachable.

Participants

I'll definitely come. Vaguely aiming at 14:00-15:00. Can do later. FeepingCreature (talk) [edit] Time has slipped somewhat, retargetting at 16:30. [edit] Leaving now, will probably be there ~16:50.

Plans

GPS may not work because of the surrounding buildings. If so, I'll just take pictures of the location.

Expedition

Got there at 17:00. No photos because I forgot that it gets dark in the evening. Not gonna bother uploading GPS screenshots because- well.

You know how Google puts the position of a GPS marker at the closest accessible location? Yeah. Actual spot was either inside a private residence or inside a restaurant kitchen. Got within ten meters though. _Again_. Grah.

One of these days I'll actually reach a spot.

[edit] Happy correction! Thanks CO2! After consulting Google Maps, it seems I actually did reach the location, and my phone GPS is just either miscalibrated or just doesn't work well up against a building wall. Cheers!
