Expedition
It's time to visit again my south neighbour graticule. This has fell very close to the parallel and was in reachable distance by bike in an area where I still had not been. I wasn't quite sure during the weekend if I would go after this one, since the weather wasn't that optimal these days, but today on the contrary! Very sunny and not too warm, ideal.
So I grabbed Winterbuche quite late, almost at 12:00 and went towards the hash. Up until Sestelin I took a very similar path to the one I took when I went after this hash almost a year ago. Now, after Sestelin, it began the area that was still undiscovered by me. Here I passed by Neu- and Alt Negentin. At the entrance of Alt Negentin I crossed the parallel N54 for the first time. I would be crossing in again later while visiting some wind turbines in the area.
After Alt Negentin I crossed the highway and on the other site I looked for a geocache (unsuccessfully..). Then I visited some of the wind turbines. They are quite impressive seen right from under them. Such giants and what seem slow movements but are actually quite fast. Mesmerizing.
Then I went after the wind turbine where the hash fell. It was lucky that it didn't fell on the field. I located the area, danced a little bit with my GPS until I got the right location and took proof. And since I was there and it was already 14:00 I had lunch right on the spot. A little pick-nick. Well, a survival lunch we could say. Some sandwiches and water. I even forgot to bring a piece of fruit that would give me some sugar for the way back. Well, no big deal.
The weather was so inviting that after lunch I had some rest and read for a while. Just some Mittagsruhe. I could have just easily fall a sleep but that would not had been a good idea, since after 30 minutes of reading I started to notice that I was possibly getting some sunburn and decided it was time to grab Winterbuche again and head home. (It was too late... TT_TT first sunburn of the year.. I have to be more careful next time).
And for the way back home I took exactly the same path as seen in the tracklog. So nothing new. Scared some deer and hares that I encountered. It was not my intention.

| Beautiful daisy I found. Anyone on the mood of counting spirals? |
| 21 spirals clockwise. I have a good feeling about it ;) |
| And 34 Counter-clockwise! The prophecy is true! |
