Location

On a grassland in the forest above Großsachsen

Participants

Plans

I haven't been hashing for quite a while and I had time today so I decided to visit the hash. The weather was great, sunny but yet not to hot in the morning and so I try to get there by bike.

Expedition

I started at home at 10 am. The wind was gently blowing from the rear and so I came along very quickly. At high noon I was close to the Bergstraße (mountain road) and had to go a little bit upwards into the Odenwald. For the last two kilometers I had to ride some steep gravel paths through the dense forest. Finally, when the path came to an end, there was a surprise to me: a big grassy clearing. I hoped for a good gps-reception and walked into it (although I was pretty sure that it was full with millions of ticks and other raptors). Well, the reception was not good at all and my shown position jumped around wildly, so I walked for more than 15 minutes through the waist-high grass, but finally I got a shot that was good enough.

From here on is not much to tell. I rode back to the street and down to the rhine valley, continued to Weinheim and rode back home by train.

Tracklog

Achievements

DODO earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (49, 8) geohash on 2016-07-10.

DODO earned the Bicycle geohash achievement

by cycling 51 KM to the (49, 8) geohash on 2016-07-10.

Unbelievable, but this was my first expedition by bike in 2016.
