Well, I checked the map on the day before and saw that it was close and, surprisingly, easily reachable. I informed Aneta and the next day we set off straight after school. Armed with a digital camera, my (lightly fuzzy) memory of the satelite view and our "infallible" sense of direction, we set off to capture this hash. We used the nearby subway station Lužiny as a starting point and after a while I could point at a group of buildings in the distance and claim that I know where to go. We found the right combination of street names and shopping centre corners and took pictures at the hash. I guess we might have been standing about a meter or two off when we took the pictures.

Dragon & Aneta

Well, I checked the map on the day before and saw that it was close and, surprisingly, easily reachable. I informed Aneta and the next day we set off straight after school. Armed with a digital camera, my (lightly fuzzy) memory of the satelite view and our "infallible" sense of direction, we set off to capture this hash. We took the line B to the subway station Lužiny for a starting point and after a while of walking I could point at a group of buildings in the distance and claim that I know where to go. We found the right combination of street names and shopping centre corners and took pictures at the hash. I guess we might have been standing about a meter or two off when we took the pictures.

All in all, I think this was an easy first hash for both of us. Too bad I didn't take a thermometer, judging by the evening weather report and the way my hand almost froze to the camera, I guess it would have been a frozen hash. Oh well, you can't have everything in life.

Work in progress!
