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.
