Expedition

I took the bicycle to Godshorn and down the path leading through the bog. Georg already was there, I found him sitting on a nearby bench.

The Geohash was located south of the path. Next to the path, there was a seemingly dry ditch, and behind that, a fence. According to Georg's calculations the distance between the path and the Geohash is less than the distance between the path and the fence, so it should be sufficient to cross the ditch.

While I crossed the ditch, we found out that that the ditch was not completely dry but a bit boggy under the surface. My shoes got a little dirty, but I could easily clean them after I got home. On the other side of the ditch I was able get close to the blackberry-covered fence and could record proof.

On the other side, Georg and I went west towards Godshorn while talking. Eventually, our ways separated, and I took the bicycle back home.

During these days there was a SEV, a Schienenersatzverkehr between Kassel and Hann. Münden and I decided not to use some of the buses and wanted to switch to the nother connection from Kassel to Hannover by train with interchanges in Warburg and Altenbeken. I arrived in time at the Wilhelmshöhe railway station and found out, that the train to Warburg was cancelled (the train to Neheim-Hüsten). The next train along this route is two hours later and I decided not to wait here for it but to take the bus of the Schienenersatzverkehr to Eichenberg and to take the train there, which would cost only one hour extra.

Later on the day I arrived at Berenbostel and from there I walked to the hash. The hash lay south of the way Bremoorweg in Godshorn. Bremoor was a little moor between Schulenburg and Garbsen. I found the Bremoorweg easily and walked to the area of hash. Because I hadn't a GPS at that time and the hash lay in the middle of the Bremoorweg I looked on the map for a recognizable landmark, from which I could count the steps to the hash and found a shed at the eastern side and from its eastern side to the hash there were 37 meters to go.

But my calculations were that the distance from the fence to the hash would be beyond five meters but the distance from the way to the hash is too big as to count for a successful hash. And I found the ditch too broad for a jump. Of cours, for a saturday meetup, there is no need for a positive result, if there is a meetup with more than one geohasher. But Fippe has announced himself and if he arrives there would be a saturday meetup. I found a bench nearby and waited there for Fippe. And Fippe arrived. He looked himself for the coordinates and confirmed my calculations. But he did the jump. But he sank into the ditch about handdeep. I don't know what would have happened to me as I have twice the weight of Fippe (or thrice). But he recorded proof and that was what we wanted. Then we walked away, Fippe for home and I for some more adventure.
