Location
A field on the Wiedenfelder Höhe, near Bergheim.
Participants
Plans
Accordering to the route planner it was 60 km by car to the hash. The position was north of Bergheim and west of Niederaußem. I planned to park at the small street "Am Kreuzweg", about 2 km east of the hash.
Expedition
After passing a traffic jam because of roadworks at the motorway I reached the planned street after a detour through Bergheim. Alas, here were many fences - much of this area seemed to be the property of the lignite powerstation Kraftwerk Niederaußem. So I drove to the west and found a parking place near a Gliding Airport. The direct distance to the hash was still 2 km from here.
But the paths were in chessboard style so the real walking distance was about the double of it. I could not use the direct approach because it was a mostly agricultural area. But the sky was clear, the temperature at about 8 - 10°C so I let my parka in the car and took the opportunity to jog. Not many people were here, only a couple with dogs, some cyclists and one who was skiing on wheels. From the way the powerstation was in view, just behind a row of trees.
All in all, I reached the hash much later as I had planned. As on my visits to wet meadows in recent expeditions, I stood in the middle of nothing. But this time I had a tripod with me! No more fiddling on the ground to position the camera.
After taking some photos I jogged back to the car, most of the way.

Achievements
