− | A hashpoint within Freiburg on a sunny day -- going there was mandatory for a cherry-picking lazybone like yours truly.
| |
− | On the map, I saw that it was conveniently located in the forest along Markwaldstraße (which connects the Hochdorf industrial area
| |
− | with the industrial area at the small airport). Should be easy to reach, I thought, twenty-four dashes of road marking north of the
| |
− | bridge, then four trees' worth into the forest to the right. So I packed my bike (the recumbent bike this time)
| |
− | and dashed off at half past six.
| |
− | | |
− | The forest in that part of Freiburg is rather uniform, just like the forest in [[2009-06-26 47 7|my first expedition]]. However,
| |
− | since I had once lived nearby for two years, I told myself, trust me, I know my way. And yes, I reached the bridge and counted the
| |
− | dashes (conveniently ignoring that the road had four lanes instead of the expected two), and when I reached twenty-four,
| |
− | I knew where I was: along the bypass, close to the exit for my former home. Wrong!
| |
− | | |
− | A few precious minutes later (I had an appointment at eight, so the schedule was tight already), I found the right bridge
| |
− | and the Markwaldstraße, turned onto the mandatory bike path alongside the road, and when I reached the twenty-fourth
| |
− | dash, the fence which was put up to keep deer and bonnet apart also separated me from the hashpoint.
| |
− | | |
− | I could have turned around, crossed the bridge, parked my bike and walked twenty-four road dashes through the underwood,
| |
− | but instead I declared failure and rode my bike to the Moosweiher, a nearby quarry pond. I dedicated five minutes to a relaxing
| |
− | bath in the mostly clear water (except for some chunky algae) and went home to reach my appointment.
