Location

This Geohash is located next to a lake in Sarstedt.

Participants

Plans

Fippe

OSM says that this is a quarry, but it looks like a regular meadow on Google's satellite view. I'll try to get as close as possible at 16:00.

DLichti

Take the tram to Sarstedt, do some OSM mapping, be at the hash around 16:00, take the tram to get home, again.

Expedition

Fippe

I cycled to Laatzen and took the train to Sarstedt from there, and cycled the rest of the distance. While I waited on the path near the site, two girls on horseback passed me. After a few minutes, DLichti arrived.

Together we got onto the southern meadow walking on the edge between it and the piece of land the Geohash was on. We followed some horse tracks connecting the two areas over the edge. This was no quarry, but also not a meadow, it appeared to be an unused piece of land. On the edge between this area and an adjacent forest we located the coordinates and recorded proof. We waited there until 16:00, but nobody else showed up.

Afterwards we walked to the train station, where our ways parted. I took the train back to Laatzen and cycled home.
