Location

Some bushes near the dike between Oberhausen and the river Rhine.

Participants

Plans

It's just an half an hour ride from home by bike. So I think I'll go there soon and arive around 2 pm.

Expedition

So, this was my first regular and successful hash after more than 400 days. But that's already the most spectacular part of the story.

I started a little later than expected , at almost 2 pm. After a nice ride through the city of Speyer, over the bridge and along the Rhine Ireached the thicket, that shelters todays hashpoint. On my way there were at least 10 stork's nests, and they were all inhabitated. So easy it was to get near the hash, so hard were the last 20 m. M yfirst approach led me 25 m to it, but it seemed almost impossible to get into the thicket. Maybe, it's easier from the other side? Well, it doesn't look easier, but it was at least only 18 m. So I tried from this side. Well, long story short, I fought myself into the thicket, and as usual it gets wider after the first 5 m. Some pictures later I had to get out again. I guess I needed more than 20 minutes for this 50m and was very happy when I was back at my bike.

On my way back I found out, that there was some wind, now from the rear, that made the way home much faster than the way there. And, of course, a successful hash has to be celebrated :-)
