Paraplane launch

41 / m / 49,12

I work as a database programmer in the "IT-Speicher" in Regensburg, Germany, and toy around with unconventional r/c aircraft, aerial photography and odd digital photography techniques in my free time.

I do have a website but for the moment it is horribly outdated.

I'll try to visit hashpoints on weekends if the coordinates are reachable from Regensburg by bicycle, including the corners of the neighbor graticules:

• Nuremberg
• Landshut
• Munich

Since I'm into Openstreetmap as well, I use Geohashing as an opportunity for "Openstreethashing" - selecting random points to go to seems like a good method for collecting tracks. It might also get me near some new Geocaches.

I'm idling around in #geohashing most of the time.

Hashpoints I've been to

(newest first)

• 2008-12-30 49 12 on a wooded hill above Unterlichtenwald, about 15km east of Regensburg. Reached the coordinates together with Tomcat at 20:00.
