Zürich, Switzerland is currently in a hashclash with München, Germany. The clash will be won by the graticule to report more successful expeditions during January 2013.
You are free to side with one of the graticules and motivate it by cheering it on - or to demotivate the other one. Progress can be tracked here.

Location

A field near the small town of Auw, AG

Participants

Chris 47 8

Plans

Train leaving Zürich HB at 16:08 towards Lenzburg. Should be there just before dusk.

Expedition

Quantity, not quality ;). Seriously, there is absolutely no reason to leave earlier from work (how to explain to the boss?), travel to this small town (boooring), just to get a hash. Except, you are in a race for the most active graticule of the month, of course.

So i went.

I took a train to the nearest station, from there a bus to the closest bus stop to the hash. The town was the pure opposite of spectacular, quite sleepy, except for a very busy main road crossing the village.

There was a very nice view from the hash towards the mountains. I took some pictures, a screenshot from my iPhone, and left back home. End of the story. Zürich +1. Your turn, München! ;)

Photos

View from the train towards the mountains.
The bus to Auw took a narrow road through a forest.
The hash lies around 10 meters in this field. Mount Rigi in the background.
Screenshot. Coordinates reached.
