It's a little bit hard to proof my visit as there is absolutely no gps-reception in the tunnel. So I can just proof that I've been on the train, and hope that google shows the course of the tunnel right. Well, in this case that has to be good enough for me.

Location

On the way from Heidelberg to the Königstuhl (kings chair), the local mountain. Or - to be precise - far below it.

Participants

DODO

Plans

Todays hashpoint was pretty close to Heidelberg, so I hoped that ilpadre would announce his coming and I could finally meet him. On the other hand, I had no idea when I can leave the office and so I can't predict, when I can be there. So I gave up meeting anybody and decided not to go (although I've already prepared my gps-device at home).

Tomorrows hashpoint would be my first anniversary and so I had a close look to it. But although it's not far from home I won't make it as I have hardly any time tomorrow and it looks like the point isn't accessible anyway(the second closest hashpoint (48,8) is inside of a house and not accessibleat all and the third closest is a more than 100 KM drive). So I had a closer look at this one. "Oh, that's funny, there's a high voltage power supply line just at the hashpoint on google maps. ... a power supply line on google maps? Since when does google show power supply lines on its maps? Hey, that's not a power supply line but the railway line from Heidelberg Weststadt/Südstadt to Heidelberg Altstadt that take course in a tunnel just exactly under the hashpoint. Well, could I?"

So, here's the plan: drive to the closest railway station from the office at that line (Mannheim-Seckenheim), enter the train, ride to Heidelberg-Altstadt, leave the train, take the next one in the opposite direction, visit the hashpoint once again and drive home.

Expedition

Well, everything went as planned. I could leave the office pretty early and reached the station Mannheim-Seckenheim at 16:30, so I had plenty of time to reach the 16:44 train. I reached Heidelberg-Altstadt at 17:05 and had to wait there until 17:27 to go back to Mannheim-Seckenheim. So I had a short walk into the city but didn't get very far.

It's a little bit hard to proof my visit as there is absolutely no gps-reception in the tunnel. So I can just proof that I've been on the train, and hope that google shows the course of the tunnel right. Well, in this case that has to be good enough for me.

Oh, and I've been in this tunnel several times before. Best proof is the tracklog from 2014-09-17_49_8.

Tracklog

33KM train and 11 KM by car (not recorded). There is no reception on the part between Heidelberg Weststadt/Südstadt and Heidelberg Altstadt, so the straight line is not really the way the train took.

DODO earned the Déjà Vu Geohash Achievement
by reaching the (49, 8) geohash on 2015-02-02, and previously on 2014-09-17.

Of course I met a lot of strangers at the geohash, but none of them knew.

And unfortunatly ilpadre (or anyone else) wasn't at the geohash at 5 pm to obtain a stacking achievement. But three brand new achievements on one day is satisfying enough.
