Plan

I saw that todays hash was in the lower right corner of the graticules. This made the hash in 50/8 very interesting. The plan was to drive by car near the hash area, drive by bicycle to the hashpoint, take some photos, find some of the fine geocaches of Plotino and return to the car.

Expedition

I did some nice Safari-Caches along the way. I parked the car not far from the hp. For the remainig distance I used my nice red bicycle (about 13:30)

The hashpoint area was easy to find but it took some time to find the exact point unter the big beeches. It was more like walking around then a hash dance.

Next to the hashpoint was a solution for the Cache OC1176A (Waldlaeufer). I like this safari cache type. :-)

Being near the lower right corner of the graticule (11,840 km), I decided to look for and visit N 50° E 8° and I found it.
