Plans

Half an hour from home by bike in a forest that I've often passed but never been in. Just have a look before work.

And if anyone else wants to come in the late afternoon, I can try to come back.

Expedition

I started in the early morning with my bull and so even the headwind wasn't to hard for me. After 20 minutes I had to leave the road (or the bicycle lane) and drive into the forest. The ground was very wet and there were several bodies of water in the forest, so I wonder if the hash would be reachable. I found a new path that wasn't registered on my map that lead my up to 200 m to the aimed point. There I tethered my bull and walked into the light but thorny forest. Against my expectations there were no obstacles and the hashpoint was easy to reach. I took some photos and left a chalk mark.

When I was just writing the mark I heard a strange sound. Something breaks through the thicket and when I looked up I saw a crew of boars running through the forest. Then I heard a splash - they must have run into the nearby drain. Unfortunately I was much to slow to take any pictures.

After these adventures I quickly drove home (now with the wind supporting me) and went to work.
