From Geo Hashing
37 / m / 48,9Contents |
[edit] Introduction
Warning: May contain nuts.
Ekorren - that's the european brown squirrel, scientifically sciurus vulgaris. Jumps around, collects various stuff, hides things and never finds all of it again.
I'm mostly hashing by bike, so I'm somehow restricted to the nearer surroundings of my home coordinates which are roughly N 48°31' E 9°3', as well as weather-restricted. But I don't take both of it very serious. And the first geohash I visited was far away from home...
[edit] Plans (if any)
Planning means to substitute random with error.
2009-11-07 (saturday): I probably will have two Baden-Württemberg-Tickets for that day. That means I will go hashing somewhere. And can take nine people with me. Now, where to find those nine people?
2009-11-13/14: I might take a chance to go to Braunschweig for two days, but probably not.

About the MNIMB: During winter neither snow nor ice or a terrain that provides generally no easy trails could hold me from doing expeditions by bike. The one in the ribbon is just one of several snow-obstacled frozen mountain hashes. After careful examination I came to the conclusion that some of them definitely beat a number of the existing MNIMB hashes but are themselves still beaten by quite a number of others which leave me humble and in awe. I take the ribbon not for a single one but as kind of a lifetime achievement.
