Expedition

Leaving the Hamburg Observatory a little later than I expected, it was already very dark when I arrived at Ulzburg Süd station. From there, I cycled 2 km to the hashforest. According to OSM, a path existed that leads through the forest past the hash, but it turned out to only be a wide overgrown aisle with no signs of use. I used my phone's light to guide me and walked 220 m through the dark, wet undergrowth. I found the coordinates 25 m from the "path" and beside a clearing, only 2 m from what in the dark looked like a giant ant hill, but could've just been a pile of earth.

I spotted a bat against the sky, which is still exciting to me because I see them very rarely, and then took some photos of Baruch and me at highest sensitivity or with flash. Subsequently, I walked the 70 m to the nearby golf course. I couldn't reach the first tee off zone (or was it a green?) due to thick growth, but walked along the path for 80 more m to the next, which gave way to the fairway. It's great that you can just stroll onto golf courses without them being fenced off.

I walked back the path and then directly across the clearing to the street, from where I reached my bike and cycled the 2.7 km home. Apart from the two near misses of a Couch Potato honourable mention, this was the hash nearest to my home!
