Location

On a field near Grenzhof.

Participants

ilpadre and, separately, DODO

Plans

ilpadre: I looked up the coordinates on Friday and knew I had to go - finally a hashpoint in walking distance, on a Saturday, while I'm in Heidelberg with no other plans. Unfortunately, I only announced it on the graticule page, and too late for DODO to take notice, and went there before DODO announced his own expedition - so no meetup. Too bad. Hope he'll find my marker!

DODO: Before I'll go rowing, I have to drive to Heidelberg surprisingly. So I come along todays hashpoint with nearly no detour. How couldn't I try? Will start now (1 pm) and be there in an hour.

Expedition

ilpadre: I walked there. We had a very foggy morning in this part of Germany, so the plants in the field were wet, and walking the last 60 meters to the hashpoint made my shoes and socks as wet as if I had walked through waist-deep water. The sun came out on the way back. All in all it was a nice, but rather uneventful walking expedition.

  I could have made also a K, C and D, but I figured killing two plants was enough. You can also see my wet footprints around.
