Plans

I had no plans, it was really spontaneous, but it seemed not that far away and I had already missed a nearby geohash the previous day. I was really tired today, but in the evening I felt a sudden urge to cycle and go on an adventure. In spite of the rain. Sometimes I am cruel to myself.

Expedition

I was somewhere until 4 pm so I began cycling to the geohash when it was already late. I hadn't much of a plan, I just followed my Garmin, more or less. The actual distance that I cycled was much larger than the distance by air which was 17 km. That is due to the fact that I had to cross the Rhine river and there aren't many bridges. It was windy, raining a bit and after I crossed the Rhine river my Garmin let me through a lot of forest tracks, which shouldn't be much fun on a bicycle during rain. However, for some reason I don't understand, I had a lot of fun today, hadn't been geohashing in a while. At the hash location I had to walk 80 m through the deep forest with very little visibility. I waited a bit for my eyes adapt to the darkness, but it was quite scary, I imagined that I heard some boar noises. To the hash and back I cycled about 50 km. My phone batteries died, so no photos as proof, but even if I had it, it would have been to dark. I might upload a screenshot from my Garmin as a proof though. But first I need some hot tea and a shower.
