Due to several family events and unfriendly weather my last (serious) bicycle ride was two and a half weeks ago which was far too long and forced me to go for this reasonably close geohash. Since both kids refused to accompany me in the bicycle trailer after I'd come home from work, I felt responsible to help Manu getting the little ones ready for bed which took us until about 9 pm and meant that it was almost dark when I started my ride alone.
Taking the bike paths to Rothenstein and the new sections of the B88 I arrived at the small road between Kahla and Zwabitz shortly after 10 and continued on a field path which soon was surrounded by canola fields. Using this path I couldn't get closer than 120 m to the hashpoint and thought about giving up since the canola had almost grown to human size and I didn't want to trample down 150 m of canola plants. On the other hand I didn't want to give up too soon and quickly found tractor tracks leading in a good direction. I stopped my GPS bike computer (which shall only count cycled distance) and dismounted it to follow the tractor track which finally got me as close as about 15 m. I decided the remaining distance was short enough to struggle through the plants and got within a 2 m circle without starting hashdances.
While I was trying to take a readably photo of the location proof on my GPS device I recognized some kind of grunting at a distance of maybe 10 m. Of course, I couldn't see anything as it was dark (despite the full moon) and the canola too dense and high. Immediately, I imagined a family of angry wild pigs and got quite nervous.
