Expedition

I started my bull ten minutes to eleven. It was quite cold (compared to the 25 + x°C on the last days) and we had a strong wind from the west. Well, I had to go east, so the wind was perfect for me (at least on my way to the hash). I tried to reach a ton achievement, so I found some new paths on my ride to the Kraichgau. At 12:15 I came as close to the hash as my bull can get. Still 200 m to go. Upwards on a hill in waist-high grass. After 100 m I reached a copse and had to walk along. But after a while I found a path through it. Another 100 m to go, and then I came - close enough. OK, there are still 5 m missing, but that is within the uncertainty circle (Ito be honest, I couldn't get closer into a really dense copse). I tried it from the other side but missed the point for 20 m here. Anyway, good enough is good enough.

I returned to my bull. Of course I couldn't stop crossing my way on the way to the hash, but at least the bull doesn't (and hash dancing doesn't count, I think). I returned to Speyer through the Angelbachtal, a nice valley in the Kraichgau. I came very close to my own path at the bridge of Speyer, but took the right side both times, so I didn't cross. For celebrating the hash I took an ice cream and a coffee in Speyer before I returned home.
