Participants

Plans

Having both, time and a hashmobile at his disposal today, pah U+110DB.png aims for his first Multihash by visiting (48,14) first and then proceed to (48,15) afterwards.

Expedition

After around 1.5 hours of driving from the successful expedition to (48,14), pah reached the vicinity of the (48,15) hashpoint at around 16:30. Again, the road became much smaller and also very steep after passing the last house (and its horses). The hashmobile sounded pretty unhappy even in small gears, so pah decided to leave the car close to the street / houses and continue on foot. According to GPS, he was still 1.9 kilometers away as the crow flies. pah‘s optimism sank slightly as he walked up the steep narrowing road, which then turned into a forest maintenance road after 500 meters: What will he be up to? Is it worth walking for several hours not knowing how the terrain will be?

Luckily, there were two joggers passing by, who asked him where he was headed. He explained his destination (and geohashing in general) and they gave him information on the path, the area of the hash and estimated a 30 minutes walk along the „Mariataferl“ pilgrim path. This sounded much better and so pah went on his way.

Indeed, pah reached the part of the forest with the hash after around 40 minutes of low intensity hiking in a beautiful spring evening sun. The hash dance took a while, likely due to the typical GPS accuracy issues in the forest (and hills), but finally he was able to capture proofs! He added a marker made of twigs on a nearby boulder and took some pictures before returning to the hashmobile.

On his way back, one of the horses (a beautiful and obviously pregnant mare) approached him and pah told her of his successful expedition. She seemed to enjoy pah‘s touch and pah is wondering, why there is no hash pony ribbon? After saying their goodbyes, pah returned to his hashmobile, drove back to the Danube river to follow the Österreichische Romantikstrasse (Austrian Romantic Road) from Grein to Linz to complete his first successful multihash expedition!
