Expedition

After visiting 2023-09-28 52 8 in Dissen am Teutoburger Wald, I walked back to my bike and cycled to Westbarthausen. From there, I took the train via Bielefeld, Nienburg/Weser and Langwedel to Brockhöfe.

From there, I cycled towards Amelinghausen, first along main streets, and then into a forest. The coordinates were on a glade that can be described as a geohasher's nightmare: Completely covered in thorny blackberry bushes and stinging nettles, with a few bushes sprinkled in-between.

The coordinates were somewhere near a cluster of bushes, but there was no way I could reach that, right? Unless... were those tracks cutting through the underbrush, leading to the cluster? Why? Does someone tend to the bushes? The trampled plants in the tracks were dry-ish, but still green, so I am assuming only a few hours old rather than days. Someone wearing long pants must have walked there.

Through the tracks, I got to the cluster of bushes. The coordinates were on the other side though. I noticed that I could go underneath the bushes - it was surprisingly empty in there, and I got a pretty good reading too.

The coordinates were outside of the cluster though, so I went out on a different side. Not the correct side though. However, I spotted tracks again leading to where I suspected the coordinates. The tracks ended where I ended up locating the coordinates. It looked like someone had done the Dance™ here earlier. I am 99% sure that another Geohasher had been here today before me. Without that person, I would have been MNB for sure.

After recording proof, I walked back to my bicycle and cycled towards the Lüneburg on my way to 2023-09-28 53 9 in Sottrum.
