Location

A muddy field near Gauangelloch (Fishing hole district).

Participants

Plans

No plans at all. I wanted to go for a little hike with the lady, but the weather was to bad for her. So I had a couple of time...

Expedition

I saw that the hash was in a reachable distance and decided to go there by bull. I planned the tour, packed my things and started. It was just then, that I realized that it was very windy, 3°C cold and slightly raining (but don't be afraid, the rain strengthened during expedition).

Beside of all this it was pretty easy to come close to the hash. When I reached the hash field I left the bull on an apple lawn and damned the geohashing god for putting the hash on the other side of the path. 140 m into the field, which was very muddy of course because of all the rain. There was a stand in the middle of the field near the hash and I thought if hunters are allowed to walk through the field, why should hash-hunters be not. The hash itself was at the highest point of the field on the top of a small hill, where you were fully exposed to the wind and the rain, but with a great view (or at least you would have had, if the weather would have permitted it).

I took the usual pictures (maybe you can guess the view) and quickly returned to the bike to ride home again. A three hours ride all in all with much more fun than it sounds.

Tracklog
