Rincewind, Yakamoz and TheOffspring
We already departed slightly late due to Rincewind sticking to some office stuff and TheOffspring needing the time offspring needs to depart... and then there was TONS of traffic. After a short extra lap we found suitable parking next to the park around the Main promenade and swiftly walked towards the hash coordinates, being well aware that Georg would most probably be waiting and close to giving up...
Fortunately he was still there and saw me waving, so we could at least exchange a greeting and a couple of words. I have to say, since CoViD this is all a bit awkward. :(
I did a hash dance but seem to have a bit of deviation to Georg's coordinates, my gadget was jumping wildly with the distance and direction. All within the GPS accuracy and on plain ground, anyway. After Georg left for his trip home, TheOffspring bruned off some excess energy running through the park and onto the playground, then we went home again, noting that this part of the Main promenade is indeed rather nice.
Quite an easily accessible hash, and apologies to GeorgDerReisende for keeping him waiting.
