Plans

Drive there from the university with the bike and then home. should take about one and a half hour. Maybe look if I can reach the former hash of 2016-05-26 49 8 because I'm interested in how it would have worked out if the mall would have been open back then.

Expedition

I started my expedition around 5pm. I was happy having a reason not to study, so I left earlier then I had planned. Because I ran out of battery I memorized the way, which was quite easy: follow the Moltkestraße until it ends, turn left and then right again. Follow the street until I reach the train station. (Or reach the train station after loosing the right track, that should be possible without looking up my position.) West of the train station I had to take the first possibility to go south. And at last: Recognize the street to the hash. It had to be on the left hand-side and contain a long straight path. Hopefully not fenced of, even though in an industrial area.

To make it short, it worked out as planned and I took out my phone almost exactly at the spot. It showed, that it wasn't possible to reach the spot by chance, because it was over a fence. I reached over it as far as I could to feel be at the hash, but in this case I'm not sure. Measurement on googlemaps is telling me the hash was about 6 feet from the fence.

  The best proof I got (regarding the battery life, I'd broken my charger cable, so it had to be enough for the whole friday too!)

  I thought maybe he hash was here...

  but most probably the hash was there.

  The stupid grin in case I reached it.

  The long path with the house to which the fence belongs.
