Location

Next to a road about 20 miles outside of Erfurt - in the woods.

Participants

Plans

Make it a midnight-hash.

Expedition

Drove down in Rincewind's car to the hash, a 30 min drive from Erfurt. On the way there we actually passed the hash as close as 100 meters from the Autobahn on a bridge - unfortunately it took another 10 minutes to get to the next exit and find the street below the Autobahn to get to the actual hash.

Nevertheless we reached the hash at about 11:45pm the previous day and started taking the stupid grin photos before we snapped the GPS screenshots at exactly midnight. This wasn't quite as easy as usual as the weather-conditions (foggy, light drizzle) and the trees around us significantly decreased the accuracy of the GPS signals. Considering that we circled around the position for at least 10 minutes with the GPS jumping all over the place we definitely reached the coordinates ... at some point.

All in all pretty uneventful, coordinates reached though.

Tracklog
