Location

in a forest next to a golf course and driving range in Kirchstockach

Participants

Expedition

Father's Day in Germany - I had done some geocaching in the morning, but decided to take my bike to go for this hash in the late afternoon. Cycling there took me about 25 minutes and I got a little wet as it started to rain. I've been in this area just recently for a geocache, hence I know that I would need to take a gravel road across a golf course (visible in the GPS screenshot) - luckily no golf ball striking my had. But then again I was protected by my bicycle helmet anyway... According to Google there should have been a small path that would lead me close to the hash coordinates, but as I have realised many times in the past: Google is +/- useless in the "outback". Hence I had to find my way through ~150m of quite dense undergrowth till I got where I needed to be. GPS reception wasn't good here under the canopy and I had to move quite a bit forth and back to find the right spot. Once the GPS settled on a point I took my pictures. On the way back I was lucky and found a better way back to my bike.
