Location

At the very edge of a small lake near Dieburg.

This is a popular area for barbecues and letting the kids roam to play soccer or do other outdoor activities.

Participants

Yakamoz and
Rincewind

Plans

Rincewind and Yakamoz actually met in front of their flat when coming home and decided to go hashing, since Rincewind had an alarm going off in his Geohash Droid (Thanks, Nicholas) that the hash coordinates were near home. The plan was to go there and not be in water...

Expedition

We drove there following satnav and just walked a hundred meters or so from the recreation area's parking spaces along the road.

The hashpoint was straight ahead, just at the very edge of the lake. Rincewind got a "1m shot" on the Garmin and didn't want to step further in the weed and bushes for fear of taking an unexpected bath. Those weeds proved to be experts at clinging their seed to trousers and other clothes...

After a long time, hash success, again! :)
