Expedition

After visiting 2023-09-25 50 7 in Köln-Porz, I walked back to the Porz-Wahn station and took a train to Au (Sieg), a replacement bus to Betzdorf (Sieg), another train to Siegen, and another a bus to Niederdelfien/Wilhelm. From there, I walked the rest of the distance, or rather climbed, as I was walking up a mountain.

I was not sure what to expect at the site of the Geohash. The coordinates were near some houses, right behind their back yards. No mapped paths were going nearby, so I braced myself for a No Public Access situation. The only reason I attempted at all is because sattelite imagery showed something that might be an unmapped path.

As it turned out, it wasn't an unmapped path - it was two unmapped paths next to each other. One directly behind the back yards and one a bit further up, both occasionally connected. I used the former to reach the coordinates, and after recording proof, used the latter to get back to the main path again.

Afterwards, I walked to the Wilnsdorf/Eremitage bus stop and took the bus back to Siegen. From there, I took the train via Hagen and Münster to Osnabrück Central and cycled back home.
