Expedition (by π π π)

We were driving from Hamburg to Potsdam that day, and this hash was in a new graticule for us and only meant a detour of around half an hour, so we decided to visit. We left the Autobahn and drove the last few kilometres through the countryside, past some small villages that even 31 years after reunification still look very distinctly East German. We parked the car at the entrance to a small forest road and walked along the street, then through a small stretch of forest with thick undergrowth and finally onto a vast field. Not wanting to damage the crops, we kept to tractor lanes as much as possible, and walked 460 m to the hashpoint, which was a few metres from a lane. It was still morning and thus very chilly, so we quickly took pictures and then walked back. I riled myself that I forgot Baruch in the car, even though I had committed myself to bringing a hashscot to every hash – I'll have to rework the rule to bringing a Hashhog or a companion to every hash. Walking back, we heard what was very probably a gunshot from a nearby hunter or forester (which I hadn't experienced in a long while). We walked back 560 m, climbing up a slope to the street, swapped drivers and then drove on to Potsdam for our mini-vacation.
