As in a text message from Danatar:

Wed 5.5.: 44 4 is 3km W from Ales (cathedral!) between the villages St-jean-du-pin and Auzas in the forest next to the road.

Plans? We did not even have a map!

I had asked Danatar and davidc to text me coordinates while we were in France. Yes, I am a sucker for redundancy. Thanks a lot to both of you. :D

We followed the signage to Alès, which is a decently sized town.
From there on, we followed compass directions to the hash.
Our first approaches ended at private driveways about 3.1km from the hash.
The final approach is the road of the common wood - cf. the google map view in the tracklog section
From there, it was just 1.2km, and there were paths through the forest
...which ended at the river.
...so we followed the river.
It meandered, as rivers like to do, so we took a few shortcuts through the brambles.
Southern French undergrowth is pretty dense, as there is not much overgrowth to steal the sun.
We approached the hash with every step, but we could not see the road Danatar mentioned, and it got dark quickly.
We aborted the mission about 150m from the hash, when we would have had to leave the riverbed (again) to climb a steep cliff through more brambles.
