The raptors already were trying to drive me crazy so I would have lived with not reaching the hashpoint.

They went on talking about what crazy things are out there in the world and I answered them that this crazy thing had gotten me out of my room, doing nothing.

They countered I wouldn't be eaten there, which would be better.

Expedition

After I've told DODO that I will try these I had a reason to go. But the real credit for this expedition goes to Pedalpusher, who gave the last shove with his 2015-06-03_43_-78 he is doing today.

So I finally picked myself up and left the house at around 7pm.

From there I had a really nice, but not really interesting, tour to the hash.

Only worth noticing is probably that I chose the route planning to go back along the Rhine and make a tron out of it.

Reaching the pond I was immediately attacked by small flying raptors. But I did not falter due to such unimportant things. I was in reach of the hash! (I recently learned about the Stupidity distance. SD in this case: around 100meters. RecentlyChanged (talk) 12:20, 27 November 2015 (EST))

I started to walk around the pond, ignoring the naked old man (in hindsight, he's probably eaten by now). On my way I met a fisherman with his young daughter, whom I asked if I can swim to the hashpoint. He told me nicely that on the other site there would be sun, but said it wasn't a problem after I told him I'm doing a safari geocache. The word geocache did it for him and I went on.

A few metres further on a little gangplank where to more fishermen, almost at my starting point. I asked them too, if it would be okay and they too told me that on the other side it would be way better. I told them what I was up to, but I of course did not push the matter. The raptors already were trying to drive me crazy so I would have lived with not reaching the hashpoint. But after they heard I just had to reach some coordinates they told me not to dive. They went on talking about what crazy things are out there in the world and I answered them that this crazy thing had gotten me out of my room, doing nothing.

They countered I wouldn't be eaten there, which would be better. We parted laughing.

I walked to the next gangplank far enough from the fishermen, they told me their fishing rods will be out about 20 metres. At the gangplank I quickly changed into my bathers and swam out about what I thought are 100 metres.

Sadly I can't prove or check the exact position where I stopped, but I think I was out far enough. I then went back, decided against changing again because of the raptors and went back home.

If you follow my tracklog you can see where I messed up the tron achievement, that's also the spot where I finally changed. I was home about three hours later, happy!
