Hitch

Plans

Grab the car, have a fun drive there (and do some shopping on the way) and walk to the hashpoint.

Expedition

After a very bumpy start (GPS not recharging (assuming the charger is broken), buying a new GPS (still not charging), assuming the fuse in the car is blown, going to a workshop and exchange the fuse. Now I'm the proud owner of two nicely working GPS systems... The drive there was easy and straight forward.
