Plans

Try not to forget to try this apparently easy one.

Expedition

It was 4 p.m. and the sun was already pretty low when I remembered that today's hash was not too far away and reachable with high probability. Therefore I decided to go by car, but by improvising directions in order to avoid the traffic jams of the rush hour, I made many little orientation mistakes and took more time than planned to get near the geohash.

I parked the car around 600 meters from the hash and walked to get closer to it. It became soon clear that the hash was in a beet field. Because it had rained yesterday, the fields were very muddy (this type of mud that sticks very well to the shoes and make them quite heavy). By walking on the traces left by the tractor I was able to get very close to the hash without trampling on the plants, and I reached the hash itself easily at about 5 p.m. I took the usual pictures and on the way back I noticed other footsteps in the mud near the hash, that looked quite recent. Was it another geohasher that came here earlier?

On the way back by car I tried again to avoid the traffic jams by taking alternative roads, but again I made a mistake at some point and lost some time to get on the right route again.
