Expedition

We were on or way back home and decided to take a small detour to go on a hashing adventure. We coudn't take the direct route since the path was blocked by an electric fence. So we tried walking around it on another path, which was a good thing:

This hash was very close to a previous one we did in 2021, but had almost forgotten. As soon as we came across a nice hut in the forest however, we remembered our earlier adventure there and recreated some of the pictures by climbing on a fallen tree. We would not have stumbled across this if the direct route had been available.

Shortly after, we found another way leading potentially towards the hash and we managed to get very close before being stopped by thorn bushes and a grid fence, but fortunately Pedro was not afraid to enter the shrubbery and we inched ourselves across it to get within GPS accuracy.

Right next to the field with the hash on it was a vineyard where some sheep were grazing and curiously approached us. Pedro was very eager to visit them and have a quick play, but we (and the fence) had to deny him that pleasure. We then headed back and had a very nice dinner in Seeheim before returning home.
