Expedition

Number five in this years bicycle hash tour (to number four.

Meanwhile I was pretty far from home and obviously had to use a train to get home today. But I was surprised, that it would take me almost 6 hours to get home by train. But I have to visit a hashpoint on my journey. Well, the closest point to my way is 48_10, and so I will interrupt the journey for a bicycle ride. (By the way, just when I'm away from home and in holiday, the "home"-point is so close to my office that I could walk)

So I reached the station in Dillingen for the 9:46-train to Ulm. An hour later I left the train in Dillingen and cycled southwards. I had three hours of time to reach the hash and continue to Günzburg, where I could finish the ride to Ulm at 14:16. The ride was rather uneventful through the hilly bavarian landscape. After 1:30 I reached the B10 and had just 3 more kilometers to go. Soon I found the forest path that came next to my target. I left the bike there and found a deer pass that went in the wanted direction. I remembered that the hash was nearly halfway between Dillingen and Ginzburg, and so I started to hurry a little. I had forgotten to load the coordinates to my bps-device, so hashdroid had to do.GPS-reception was poor in the forest, and so I had to dance for a while before I got a satisfying picture. A quick chalk mar k later I walked bake to my bike and continued to Ginzburg. I reached the station at 2 o'clock and finished the journey with four and a half more hours in different trains and stations (Ulm, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Speyer).
