Plans

Go there with my bull in the sunny weather. I will start soon, so I hope to be there around 3 o'clock. That's a little bit early for a meetup, but I can't come later.

Expedition

Everything went almost as planned. The sun was shining bright today, but there was a cold wind. That was fun on my way to the hash as the wind comes from the rear and so I reached the hash almost exactly an hour after I left home. On my way I found some new corners of Herxheim and some coffee shops that I didn't know. But as I made a cake this morning by myself, I did not stop there.

500m before the hash I had to switch on an earth road which was very uneven. The hash lies in a depression with several fields in it. My one was an ploughed but dry one. I parked the bull and walked 30 m into the field. Well, nothing special this time. Some pictures later I returned to the bull and continued my way, pushing the bull, as the way was to uneven to ride. I had to walk quite for a while as it took nearly 1 kilometer before I reached a paved road again. The part against the wind was a little bit harder, but as my batteries were full, I could level up the support to level 3 (of 5) and so the way back home took 80 minutes.
