thepiguy is planning on going. Is anyone else?

(Noone from Heidelberg wants to go?) This might be a little late, but I'm considering going. I'm now going to sleep, will check for replies to this tomorrow this morning. Koepfel _talk 23:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

2009-05-21 (Geohashing Day)

It's in Eppelheim, on what appears to be private property :( I will be in Heidelberg tomorrow, though, so I might try. Otherwise I might go for 49 9 in Kailbach. Anybody from Heidelberg wants to join me? Koepfel _talk 13:40, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Entered the wrong date. *head->desk* I wondered why these were so close to each other. Koepfel _talk 13:43, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm planning on being in Heidelberg tomorrow for Geohashing Day. If all goes according to plan, I should be getting off the train at 11:08 and getting back on at 18:47, which gives me more than enough time to get to the hashpoint! -Srs0 14:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Srs0: The cheapest train ticket from Würzburg for you would be the "Ticket 24" from the VRN transport agency. It goes from Würzburg (via Osterburken) to Heidelberg / Mannheim / Kaiserslautern ( see here ), is valid for 24 hours from validation (unlimited connections) and costs 13.50 Euros. - Danatar 14:56, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Oops, missed the discussion! What time are we meeting there tomorrow? I'm going to try for the Fulda and Frankfurt graticules "on my way". What are the rules about bringing bikes on the train? Thepiguy 15:12, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

You are not allowed to take your bike with you in ICEs (the fast trains). In most cases you can do so in the slower trains like RE and RB. I'm not sure about ICs. If you look up your schedule on bahn.de and there's "Fahrradmitnahme begrenzt möglich" for your train, then it's fine.--Reinhard 15:25, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Here's more about it.--Reinhard 15:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

RE, RB and S trains virtually always carry bikes (as long as there is enough space, might get difficult tomorrow), ticket is 4,50 for one day, no matter how much you go. In some areas (e.g. from Würzburg to Heidelberg via Osterburken), it's free, but not everywhere you want to go. Those 4,50 won't do much, because your plans are quite expensive as there is no discount ticket you can use for that. Some IC trains carry bikes as well. The ticket is more expensive, is not a daypass, and reservation is obligatory. Some also trams allow bikes, e.g. at Heidelberg. --Ekorren 15:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

future plans

Anybody plans to go to 2009-03-28 49 8? It's located north of Hambrücken, somewhere between Karlsruhe and Mannheim/Heidelberg. Koepfel _talk 16:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not here over the weekend, but Danatar announced in IRC that he is in Heidelberg and might go there. --Ilpadre 17:11, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll not make it at 4pm, and probably not at all. Maybe I can drive by late in the evening, but my schedule is very tight. - Danatar 11:00, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, I didn't make it either, I was sort-of busy this day. The hashpoint didn't seem to interesting anyway. Koepfel _talk 20:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
