Plans

Little car is ill and I can't take it home before half past nine. So I have two hours time in the morning. Mhh, what could I do with that, especially when the hash is just 20 KM away from home? So, if you want to meet me, you have to be early (around half past eight, I hope).

Expedition

Just a 20-KM ride through the foggy palatine fields. The hashpoint was 25m from the cyclepath in a rapeseed field and I doubted if I could access it. But there were tractor tracks and so after I walked a little along the field I found a way into it where no plants were harmed. I took some pictures and do what you do at a hashpoint, when a car slowly came along the cyclepath and stopped next to my bull.

OK, I was totally fine with walking in tractor tracks and not harming plants, but I wasn't the owner of the land and so I walked out of the field to the car with a sense of guilt. "Sorry, I just took some photos on your land because...". "Oh, that's no problem", he interrupted me, "but do you have bees? I always had someone who bring his bees to my land, but I don't know if he'll bring them this year. So I wonder, if you might have bees for my rapeseed." Unfortunately, I couldn't serve him with that and so we both continued our ways.

On my way home I came along a former mill with its own former chapelle, the latter now used as a residential house, the former as an inn, but it still has a working mill-wheel that produces electrical power for the house.
