Rincewind chickened out due to a bad back so I steyed at work a little longer and started around 8pm. I had carefully planned this as a 7km-walk-tron-land expedition and followed the plan exactly before arriving at a soaking wet field of some very very thick plant.

I tried following some tractor tracks to get closer to the hash but made it up to about 23 meters at which point I would have had to stalk through the plants.

Location

Eeeeek. That's just 3,5km from where we work. On a field.

Participants

Plans

Go there after work. Probably around 6-pm-ish.

Expedition

Rincewind chickened out due to a bad back so I steyed at work a little longer and started around 8pm. I had carefully planned this as a 7km-walk-tron-land expedition and followed the plan exactly before arriving at a soaking wet field of some very very thick plant.

I tried following some tractor tracks to get closer to the hash but made it up to about 23 meters at which point I would have had to stalk through the plants. Considering how wet the soil was (I had serious trouble walking even with my trekking shoes) and how thick the plants were I definitely would have destroyed some of them so I called it a day and headed back.

Tracklog
