I started at Kassel something late at about 12:00. With two cars and a truck I arrived at the village Kuventhal, from where I had to walk for 45 minutes to Wenzen. Another lift brought me to Eschershausen, but there I had to walk another 30 minutes, at least I arrived at the ridge of the Ith at 16:24. From there I followed a trail along the ridge. The trail became narrower and narrower, sometimes more a mule track. I saw some cliffs at the left side. At a calculated place, where the ridge trail was near to the hash I wanted to walk through the wayless forest, but I found some forest ways, but very wet and muddy. The next way was steep downgoing and wet and on this way the first time as a geohasher I slipped out and found me lying on the back on the way. Coming nearer to the hash, I fell into despair. ''Of course I am a geohasher, but I am not silly.'' I found more wet and green overgrown ways and I was too late in the forest. So I gave up. I walked to the outside. But my GPS showed me how near I was to the hash and I started a try from the other side. But I couldn't find the right way and I had no time to find out. So I went out of the forest and found a meadow where I could dry and clean my clothes. Then I hitchhiked home. I started at Fölziehausen at 19:40 and arrived at home at 1:30 a.m.

Plans

I wanted to hitchhike to the Ith and to hike to the hash.

Expedition

I started at Kassel something late at about 12:00. With two cars and a truck I arrived at the village Kuventhal, from where I had to walk for 45 minutes to Wenzen. Another lift brought me to Eschershausen, but there I had to walk another 30 minutes, at least I arrived at the ridge of the Ith at 16:24. From there I followed a trail along the ridge. The trail became narrower and narrower, sometimes more a mule track. I saw some cliffs at the left side. At a calculated place, where the ridge trail was near to the hash I wanted to walk through the wayless forest, but I found some forest ways, but very wet and muddy. The next way was steep downgoing and wet and on this way the first time as a geohasher I slipped out and found me lying on the back on the way. Coming nearer to the hash, I fell into despair. Of course I am a geohasher, but I am not silly. I found more wet and green overgrown ways and I was too late in the forest. So I gave up. I walked to the outside. But my GPS showed me how near I was to the hash and I started a try from the other side. But I couldn't find the right way and I had no time to find out. So I went out of the forest and found a meadow where I could dry and clean my clothes. Then I hitchhiked home. I started at Fölziehausen at 19:40 and arrived at home at 1:30 a.m.
