Traveling by public transport to Mettinghausen and a walk.

Expedition

This day I had some problems with the journey. To travel from Kassel to Lippstadt, where Mettinghausen belongs to, needs to take the train from Kassel to Warburg and change there to the train from Warburg to Lippstadt (and further). On this day the train from Warburg on was cancelled due to the lack of train drivers and there was a SEV scheduled (SEV = Schienenersatzverkehr = railway replacement service). But my experience with such SEV-services is, that they are seldom, late and other public transport services don't wait for them. Not even trains or buses of the same operator. Seeing the announcement und with the experience I decided quickly to travel on with the first train to Meschede and to try the bus service from there to Lippstadt. I needed to change the bus at Warstein (don't confuse Warstein with Warburg) and reached Lippstadt in time to get the bus to Mettinghausen (this runs only twice a day on schooldays). So I arrived at Mettinghausen without delay.

At Mettinghausen I walked to the hash. I found it under some trees at the edge of a field. But across the way along this edge there was a fence with a private property sign. But the field was empty. And it was possible to walk from the street onto the field and then from the field onto the fieldway behind the fence. Other people had done this before with their cars.
