Plans

I want to visit this geohash right after my early shift at work.

Expedition

On fridays, I normally work only 6 hours and so I started my weekend at noon. Since the hash wasn't that far away from where I work, I decided to drive there and give it a try. The map showed a meadow along a small foresty area, and I didn't know what to expect. Was it a cornfield, or a meadow for cattle? Let's just go there and find out...

After I drove through the small village of Asmushausen, there was this asphalt road which I was allowed to drive on, which led me almost to the coordinates. Seemed to be getting an easy one! My mobile phone told me that I was only 130 meters away from the hashpoint, and after 300 meter by feet, I reached a ditch - and I saw this cattle fence on the other side, and thought that it wouldn't be possible to reach, because it were still 20 meters or so. After I got down into the ditch and climbed up on the other side, I noticed that my geohash droid app showed this nice message in green - "you're there"!

I tried to get as accurate as possible, but having about 8 meters right at the cattle fence was good enough for me - no need to go under the fence to do another few meters, why? So I took some pictures and, since this was an extremely short hike (would have taken me 600 meters in total), I decided to go for two older geocaches (2007/2009) to achieve five kilometers at least.
