Per S

I drove to the hash in a Volvo V60 from the car sharing. I arrived about half past twelve and found the hash point close to the road. I put up a marker on a tree a few yards away and then hung around waiting to see if Cjk would turn up. I didn't want to leave before he arrived, because then he wouldn't also get the virgin graticule achievement.

After about an hour I was about to leave, but while I was building a little pile of branches to mark the hash point, Cjk and TheFasionStatement arrived. I had a quick piece of cheese with them and then I had to rush off. The car had to be back by 3 pm sharp. I won't upload my tracklog as it's probably incriminating ;)

Cjk and TheFashionStatement

Per S and I had talked about deflowering Kapellskär (it is like 99% ocean) last time we met at the hash on Utö and he found this one and sent a message via the wiki. Of course I was going. Headed off from home to pick up TheFasionStatement on the pretense that it was a road trip. And it turned out to be a nice one. The GPS in the phone was on the fritz all the way so turn off points where a bit hard to find. Got close to the right field after about an hours drive and Per S was already there, the little Early Bird that he is. Big thanks for waiting an hour for us at the hash.

He had put up a sign on the nearest tree and built a little mound of branches on the spot. I packed up a small picnic with cutlery from home and some cheese and hard bread, Gruyere and Saint Agur. Per S had to speed off so we took a quick group photo and he took off.

Stayed some more minutes and took more photos before heading back. Had late lunch at Max and then road tripped a bit through Danderyd looking at houses and imagining the people in them. Then home to Stockholm and a quick visit to the Army Museum.
