In a forest west of Vierbach

Plans

Right after work I will drive to Vierbach, arrive there at around 14:15 pm, park my car and go for a little hike into the woods. The hash seems to lie some 50 meters off an old trail through the forest, so this might become a succesful expedition!

Expedition

Personal note: for exactly two months I did my first geohashing expedition, today is the 21st trip to a geohash - which, in other terms, means to me, that I seem to enjoy this newly discovered hobby a lot!! August 17th seems like ages away, but it have only been the first two months of active geohashing ;-) Hopefully, the thrill and excitement will stay - I'm really digging this kind of 'getting out there' and look forward to further adventures!!!

Right as planned, I arrived in Vierbach short after two pm, parked my car and prepared for a little journey on this beautiful day in october... The path was going pretty steep, so I had to stop to take some breath every now and then. I came along the grillhut of this little village, a very nice location with a great view on Vierbach. Then I came nearer to the forest, and both a path and a ditch were leading directly into it. I choose the path, which turned out to be the wrong decision, getting deeper into the woods, but further away from the hash!

So I had to do a right turn to find my way back to the ditch, which I should had followed! After finding it, it turned out to be almost 3 meters deep, so I had to get back a little further to find a good place to cross it. Then I had a look at my app and noticed: only 50 meters to go! Those last meters were pretty easy and I found the hash shortly after...

After about one hour I returned to my car - I had taken a lot of pics on my way - and celebrated my succesful expedition! This really was a nice one for me, discovering some unspoiled nature and enjoying the silence...
