Location
A meadow between Geistingen and Rott, near Hennef.
Participants
Plans
According to the map the hash was on a meadow with a nameless street on the right side and a brook called Flutgraben on the left side right away. Seemed very easy. The temperature was at 8°C.
Expedition
Not much to say
Okay, it was very easy. When I got out of the car I was 150 m away from the hash, and there were no fences in between. (Based on my experience the day before and in Lohmar, I had suspected fences... again.) But so I was able to walk to the hash unhindered.
Just at the hash stood a white wooden pole, about 3 ft high. Had some determined geohasher put it here? But no, there were some other similar poles to see in the distance, forming a line. While I made my pictures, some people appeared playing golf. This was a golfing area, and the poles marked its border.
Nevertheless, I placed a poster on the pole of the perfect place.
Later I verified on the map that there was a golf club in the neighborhood just about 2000 ft afar.
But something to see
For the hash was so easy to reach, I pondered what I could do more here. On the last kilometer towards the hash I had passed the village Rott, which has some picturesque buildings. So I went there and took some photos to share them with you. For my part, reading the expedition reports of other geohashers, combined with their pictures of (strange places in) foreign countries, is part of the fun of geohashing. Maybe you like what you see here.
