There hadn't been any good geohashes in Hamburg since mid-January, which is highly unusual (in 2019 there were about 10!). So I was delighted to see that there was a very convenient hash in Barmbek, exactly the day I went to Hamburg for the second time since mid-March (the next unlikely occurence)! Leidenfrost agreed to meet up with me there after my exam had ended (which took place in the huge conference halls instead of our usual auditorium).

So after the exam I took the train to Dehnhaide and walked the last 500 m. The hashpoint was on a cobbled residential street and I had no trouble finding it, I didn't even have to search because the location was so clear from the OSM position (could've easily gone for a No Batteries Geohash, dang). It was near the middle of the street, but thankfully, cars were parked on the near side of the road and we only had to take a step back every time one drove by. After a few minutes, Leidenfrost arrived with his partner. I marked the spot with branches and we took our usual pictures, me with my camera because my phone now fully refused to save photos. I had brought my juggling balls and performed a few tricks on the street while Leidenfrost filmed to claim a better Circus Geohash than my last. Leidenfrost and his drag-along tried it too, though not at the hashpoint. Afterward, we talked for a bit (except for a brief encounter the previous day we hadn't met for over four months), then I took the train to the Stadtpark where I relaxed and studied for a while, and lastly went home.
