Expedition

I've finally scouted another plausible hash. I've been unable to try one since exactly one moth ago, mostly because I'm too busy on most weekends and it's too dark on workdays. But I've got time off now, so I can go and try some hashes.

This hash is exactly how I like my hashes: it's not too far from a useful public transport stop (in this case Forchheim, a train station with ~ 10 trains an hour), and it's in a forest, so I can simply go there and very few people are going to try to stop me.

The only interesting question is: Do I get the train back home, leaving 55 minutes after my arrival in Forchheim, or will I loose an hour at some random train stop because I don't get that planned connection home?

So I hurry along the scouted route - leaving Forchheim station to the east, always up the hill towards Selbach. I manage to reach the approximate location of the hash by 11:55 - my train leaves 12:29. So far, great time. I am slightly delayed by the dance - apparently the hash doesn't like to be reached today - but I get a very good reading by 11:59. If I keep this speed, I'll be back in time for the train home. But it'll still be tight.

I'm back at the train station two minutes before my train arrives. I'm happy.
