Location

Behind the A4 south or Erfurt in a field.

Participants

Plans

Get there in the evening despite the snow and wind.

Expedition

Found the area all right but couldn't find a spot to park the car along the main road. So we tried a different approach through a nearby little village which seemed to be only a small detour on our way. Made it up to about 1.5km apart from the hash by car.

It was already dark and the thermometer showed about -5°C (with lots of wind so it felt more like -15°C) but we started walking toward the hash and almost immediately hit a solid snow cover of about about 30-40cm which was all we could see all the way to the hash. Tried a 100m sprint through the snow but decided that there was no way we could go on all the way to the hash with the shoes we had without freezing something we might still need the following day.

So - sadly - we snapped a group photo and turned around to give up :(

Photos

Ah, nearly made it into the photo ...
... yep, that's better. Hashers united. Too cold to grin (unfortunately we didn't capture the heaps of snow around us).

Achievements

Mampfred, Rincewind and LadyBB earned the Done with Nature consolation prize

by failing to reach the (50, 11) geohash on 2010-12-16.
