Go there ~33km by bike and receive the tron achievement by choosing a different path back.

Expedition

This journey was all about being wet. This was a really hot summer day with a peak around 35°C, so I started in the evening, but it still was 32°C when I started. I went by bike and had to go uphill from the very beginning. So when I reached the hash I was drenched sweat.

When I reached it, I realized that I am on top of a hill with noone around and remembered that I read something about a geoflashing achievement, so I went for it. I regretted that decision when I had to put my soaking wet shirt back on.

On my way up I saw some lightnings and heard some thunder, but it was really far away (24 seconds between lightning and thunder -> ~8km). But during my stay at the hash the thunderstorm snuck really close without me realizing it. And shortly after my departure it started raining.

I rushed downhill and when I got home, it was really close (only 4 seconds between lightning and thunder -> ~1,3km). I was wet again from top to toe. Nice way of cooling down on summer days, if it wasn't for the lightning. But it was worth anyways. I enjoyed that trip, and I started achievement-hunting on my second hash.
