Location

In Sandhausen, maybe not reachable.

Participants

DODO

Plans

Although the hashpoint may be on private property, DODO will have a look tomorrow morning before work. Especially because he has never been in Sandhausen before.

Expedition

As a geohash-starter I still have lack of patience, and so after the hashpoint being to far away for two weeks I had to try this one. So I decided to make a 20 KM detour on my way to work. On my way I came along Burg Wersau but nothing but a sign was visible of the former castle anymore. Short time later I reached the Hockenheimer Wald and crossed two ditches.

The weather is fine, the air is fresh and me and my bull enjoy the freedom and the speed. At schoolstart we reach Sandhausen and the hashpoint gets nearer and nearer. I tie the bull down and try to get there, but 40 m before the hashpoint a thick copse started just in the middle of the town. I walk around the complete insula, but thats the nearest you can get to the hashpoint and all the way to it is impracticable.

OK, maybe I could try to fight the raptors down, its only 40 meters, but then I have to go to work with clawmarks all over.

And there is a bakery next to the hashpoint, so I can have a consolation :-)

Tracklog

bull: 38 KM (instead of 17). Since I didn't reach the hash, I didn't store the track, but I still have the plan, that I can link here.
