Location

10 km NNE of CDG airport, near the TGV line, in a field near Beaumarchais.

Participants

Plans

Pick Vermouthandgin at Charles de Gaulle's airport and try to reach the hash while driving back home to the north of France.

Expedition

Vermouthandgin arrived on early morning (5:40 a.m.) at Charles de Gaulle's airport and Zertrin was coming from the north of France to pick her up. We noticed that today's hash in 49,2 was relatively close to the airport and potentially reachable.

After leaving the airport and taking the A1 motorway directly by mistake (airport exits are always a bit misleading) we took the first exit. From Saint-Witz we drove as close as possible to the hash and walked the remaining 600 meters.

The hash was 10 meters off the path in a beet field. After taking the usual pictures (or at least trying to take them in the dark) we headed back to the car and drove back home.
