Location

A meadow near Hanhofen

Participants

DODO

Plans

To close, not to go. I wanted to go there by bike in the afternoon.

Expedition

I started at home at half past 3. The weather was sunny and warm, and I had just 8 KM to ride, a perfect location for me and my bike. The only downer was that I had to drive to Koblenz this afternoon so I had not so much time and had to hurry a little. I lost my way in Hahnhofen for maybe 200 m, enough to disqualify for a tron achievemnet, but that would have been hardly possible anyway as I had to drive 50 m or so into the way to the hashmeadow. Next to the meadow was a bench. I left my bike there and walked the remaining 70 m into the meadow. No big deal. I took some pictures, and returned to the bench to wait the last 5 minutes until 4. As expected nobody else came (at least no hasher), and so I hurried back home. A great short ride before the drive thanks to geohashing.
