Location

A field near Erfurt. A VERY VERY MUDDY field at that. And there's going to be mud. And rain. Did I mention that?

Participants

Plans

Go there after Rincewind has finished his gazillion other thigs he's got to do after work. Oui?

Expedition

We met up at 9:45pm and headed for a 30 minute drive to the hash. To make the expected mud more fun, it was raining at the time and didn't stop until after we got back home.

When we reached the point at the edge of the field, we both noticed that in our meticulous planning we both forgot to bring a torch. Hmm. Fortunately modern technology (= our mobiles) comes with integrated torches (= led flashes) and Rincewind had not one but two umbrellas in the car.

If I haven't stressed that enough yet - it was spectacularly muddy in that field, it took a mere three steps to have a ton of mud on our feet and we were exhausted after the first 100 meters with another 400 remaining ;)

But we made it there and back to the car where my GPS cut out due to batteries, hence only half a tracklog this time.

Tags: Fun. Wet. Dark. MUDDY.
