Location
A small path in Rösrath.

Plans
According to the map the hash was in Rösrath at the Kirchstraße behind some houses. It should be easy to get there because a street was nearby and a small path lead to it even from the street.
Expedition
I had to do the driving without navigation system this time so I studied the map carefully and reached the end of the Eiserweg just as I had planned. It was short before 7 p.m. so it was dark.
The small path started between a row of houses and a closed cemetery. I crossed a short catwalk over a rivulet and stood in the darkness of a small wood. Only some dozen steps to go. My tiny torch did not help me much because of the blinding light in the back of a house just near the hash - two floodlights shone over a garden wall at the height of my head. Too much light to adapt the eyes to the darkness below. I could neither see my feet nor the ground but I heard that I was walking on very wet ground. We had rain in the last two days. Well, mud again...
Half blinded I performed the usual geo dance (oh, a tree stump! oh, a bough...), made my photos and left the wet wood with the strange light conditions.

In the lighted darkness, probably with a Stupid Grin (TM)
