Expedition

π π π (log from April 2020)

I had hoped the rain would calm down, but I think the forecast said it was going to rain the whole day. So I set out hoping I wouldn't get too wet, which was a futile endeavour. I cycled to my local train station and took the A3 to Alveslohe, the next station, from where I biked 2.5 km to the geohash. At that point, I was already pretty wet. The hashpoint lay at the edge of a garden with playground items, so I climbed over a gate onto a livestock meadow, walked 40 m, then climbed the low garden fence. I found the right location under a tree one metre from the fence and took pictures. In the rain, it was hard to keep my phone reasonably dry. I walked back and decided to cycle home, as I was already soppy and the train only comes once an hour. So I biked another 8 km in the rain, and by the time I got home, I was completely soaked and my inner clothes including gloves were sweaty. So I claim the Drowned Rat achievement for this hash.
