Expedition

This hash was singing it's siren's song even before the weekend started, but because we were at a Salsa convention, it was unlikely that we would have the time to visit. On the way back, we had to get lunch.... 6 minutes away from the Hash. So Nyxxus was convinced to try to visit and we were on our way.

We drove to about 50 meters away, but the field was fenced off. Luckily for us a farmer came outside and, even though it was his neighbour's field, he gave us permission to go into the field after we explained what we were doing.

In the field we saw a funny line of mole hills, and when we left the field MyrtleGlacy fell and put his hand in a patch of nettles. The victorious expedition was worth the blisters.

Back at the car, we were once again approached, but this time by another farmer. We told her what we were doing and she told us there were a couple of geocaches nearby. As in, within line of sight, nearby. So obviously we did those as well. All in all a fun and very successful expedition.

  Some mole really did his best to create a straight line here.

  Quite a lovely open view around us.

  Still hurts a bit. Glad the blisters have gone away.

  The first cache was a micro placed with permission from the municipality

  The second cache was a normal cache that was in a great spot.
