Expedition

After three very easy hashes (3 KM with my bull, car hashing and 1000m of walk) I had to do a hash that has to be worked for. And so I decided to visit todays nearest hash by bike.

The trip led me35 KM through the upper rhine valley and for the remaining 40 Km through the hills of the Kraichgau. When I reached the Kraichgau in Bruchsal, the sun came through the foggy clouds and the view over the roaring hills, colored by the leaves of the trees and the sun on all that was marvelous. But after a while I got really tired and had to make a short break (and eat something). I found a little chapel on a hill and rested there before I continued. After 15 more KM (mostly upwards) I entered some vineyards and was rewarded by a wonderful view over a small village, two hot-air ballons driving over the landscape and a hashpoint placed in front of me, just 6 m from the path, decorated with some beautiful flowers.

I took another break, did what I had to do (just some pictures, no mark) and continued for the last 10 KM to Pforzheim. With two more hills to there I needed 45 minutes to get there, and then it took me 2 more hours to get back to Speyer by train (could have been 1.16 h, if I would have reached the station at 15:30, but that was obviously to ambitious. Anyway, hashing gave me just another wonderful day out.
