Location

This Geohash is located on the Ellenbogen peninsula in List on Sylt.

Participants

Expedition

Fippe

In the morning, I took the train from Hannover to Hamburg central. It was late, so I missed my next train to Elmshorn. Instead, I took the train to Hamburg-Altona and waited for the next train there. And that train went all the way to Westerland on Sylt. Sylt is of course an island, but a rail causeway connects it to the mainland, so no ferry was involved. I was expecting more punks on the train - there were just two, but they were quite audible.

In Westerland, I got a rental bike. It had electric support, super thick tires and was colored hot red. :D With this kind of vehicle I could cycle up north to the Ellenbogen peninsula in no time. There were dunes, seagulls, the North Sea of course, sheep, and not a single punk. It seems that the island is still mostly populated by men in polo shirts and women with fancy purses. The coordinates were located a bit next to the path on some grass.

After reaching the Geohash and recording proof, I visited the northernmost point of Germany on a nearby beach. I could see the Danish island Rømø from there, and my phone switched over to the Danish mobile data network. This was a personal record for me going north without air travel being involved.

Afterwards, I cycled to the settled part of List, the town that the Ellenbogen belongs to, and from there back to Westerland. I got a late lunch (two fish buns), returned the rental bike, and went back to the train station. At the station, Leidenfrost's train had just arrived. We had a brief meeting, before I needed to get on my train. It was nice to meet you!

After meeting Leidenfrost, I took the train via Elshorn, Hamburg central and Uelzen back to Hannover.

Is it true that Leidenfrost and Fippe earned the meet-up achievement?
In principle, yes.
But while the meeting happened while geohashing, it did not occur at the coordinates (2022-07-02 55 8).
