Plans

The algorithm hasn't been very gentle to me this year. Hardly any hash near enough to Speyer, that I could go. So, I was quite excited when I saw todays hash on Friday. Just 8 KM by bike and a short walk on a field.

Expedition

I was very busy on Saturday. I had to go to the market to buy some food, clean the staircases, I had an appointment for rowing at 2 pm and in the evening there was a cooking event. I found just one hour in the late morning to visit the hash. And the weather looked - ugly. There was a strong wind from the south, just the direction I had to go and it was raining all day. I fought with myself the whole morning, but finally I saddled the bull and started southwards. It was only a 20 minutes ride. But when I reached the hash field I was entirely wet.The last 100 m I had to ride were so muddy that I couldn't ride on and had to stable the bull.

Not much more to say. A walk into a muddy field in the rain and the wind. I took some quick pictures and hastened back home. I had to continue to the rowing club immediately, but I had reached my target.
