Expedition

Q-Owl: Success!  :-)

I crossed the river Rhine on the highway and drove near the hashpoint. There was a parking lot next to it. I hung up my jacket at the hashpoint, took a few photos and found about 8 geocaches on the way back to the Rhine. After a ferry trip I visited our nice and drove back home.

I did not think, that DODO would walk so far.^^ Otherwise I would have informend him bx e-mail. :-(

DODO:

The (planned) last hash on my tour was on the other side of the Rhine and I obviously couldn't walk all the way. So I planned to go to Worms by train and walk from there. But first I had to walk to the station. I had 3.7 kilometers to the station in Darmstadt-Eberstadt and I reached the station 7 minutes before the train should depart. Just enough time to find the ticket machine and get the ticket. I changed trains in Bensheim and reached Worms around 11. So I was back at the place where the tour started 4 days ago. First I walked into the city to buy some additional food before I walked outside the town. Soon I reached a rivulet and followed it for more than an hour before I reached Pfeddersheim.

From here I had to walk through the lower Palatine fields. Only fields and paths between them. Hardly even a bigger stone or a log to sit down for a break. It had rained a lot last night and so most of the paths were very muddy. Nevertheless I walked all the way and reached the hash-point at 4 pm. I would have left a mark if I had known that Q-Owl wanted to come, but I thought it would be to far from his home.

I checked tomorrows hash-point and to my surprise it was almost on my way home. And on the top of that there was a very good hotel only 500 m from the hash and only 150 m from the station, from where I had to ride home. So I decided to stay another night away and visit tomorrows hash-point on my ride home.
