Expedition

29th of February - a day we get only once every 4 years! What a surprise when after breakfast I opened the app and found that today's hash was less than 2 km from home! Probably the closest hash to home I have ever been able to log (I think my first one was a bit more than 2 km from home...). The former military airfield had been converted into a landscape park (Landschaftsgarten) about 25 years ago, but the runway has been left in and is being used for cycling, walking and kite surfing on wheels as well as paragliding training area. As the weather turned out to be quite warm for this time of the year there were lots of people around. I had planed to draw the Geohashing logo on the runway, but once we were there I realised that I had forgotten the chalk at home :-( The hash was just 50m from the runway and we managed to get within less than a meter. Took the mandatory pictures and then we cycled back home.
