Location

A forest between Altrip and Waldsee.

Participants

DODO

Plans

Too close not to go (and the hash hadn't been that close for almost two month). Don't know exactly what time it'll be. Anyone else to come?

Expedition

Little girl became 18 yesterday, and so I had to spend the morning with cleaning up, making breakfast for some bleary-eyed people and doing some household-stuff. So it was almost 3 pm when I could start, what met pretty good with a Saturday meetup.

I know that way pretty good and so half an hour later I found myself on a forest path 70 m from the hash. From here on things got a (very) little bit weird.

GPS reception was not that good and so the direction arrow was jumping from left to right and back while the distance stays nearly constant at 20 m. Then I realized that the device knows where I am (and so the distance is correct), but it can't determine my direction. So I tried to move faster to make the direction more obvious, and some seconds later I was within the circle of uncertainty. I took some pictures, build a quick mark and ... had no idea in which direction I left my bike. But it was just 70 m away, so I finally found it.

Back on the path I waited until 4, and I used the time to search for ticks. That turned out as a good idea as I found two of them. One of them was bigger than usual and has an unusual color, so I wasn't sure that it was a tick, but Wikipedia says it was. At least it was big enough to take a photo of it.

On my way home I stopped at a beer garden where I've never been before. And it turned out that it was a very nice one. I'll certainly come back.
