Participants

Expedition

I haven't made some expeditions lately because the coordinates where too far away or I wasn't in my home graticule. So it's pretty funny that I reached this hashpoint. The one farthest away on my record.

I was visiting my girlfriend who currently lives in 54 13 and was heading back to my home with a borrowed car. In the morning of this day I checked for today's hashpoints and found this one near my route so I decided to stop by. I left the Autobahn at the exit Tribsees and drove in the direction of the local wind power plant which is currently under construction. First I thought was heading in the wrong direction so I checked the Hash Droid but it was perfectly right. The I entered a cubblestone road of very bad state through the fields. Lots of farm machines may have ruined it. After the next crossroad the road was made of frozen soil and so I drove until I got near the point, but it was still 500 metres off.

I decided to turn around. By this time it was nearly complete dark and -4 °C outside on an open field with no one around. What if the car woundn't start as soon as I got back? But then I remembered the risks I took on previous hashes, got out of the car and walked across the frozen soil and some plants I couldn't identify in the dark. Seemed to be cabbage or some kind of it from the sound it made by stepping onto it. I reached the hashpoint, got my proof and walked back in the direction of the construction lights. The car wasn't visible in the dark.

So I reached this one, too. Back onto the Autobahn and on the way back to my origin graticule.
