Location
~15 m into the Rhein.
Participants
- Kellerkind and family
- two plush lions
Plans
Swimming there isn't easy since the current is quite strong. Therefore we decided to just throw my phone at the hash and hope for the best.
To protect the phone (it isn't waterproof), we put it in a plastic container and tied a nylon cord around the box.
Expedition
My dad and I cycled there on a tandem, my brother took the E-Bike. We ate some schnitzels at a restaurant on the way there.
After riding on a very bumpy path, we arrived at the hash. Dad set up his camera so we could record ourselves losing my phone reaching the hash. The phone swam onto the hash on the first attempt.
Afterwards, we rode home. A few kilometers in, we noticed that our two plush lions have escaped! Obviously, we had to catch them. It turned out that they just wanted to sunbathe a little longer at the Rhein.
