Location

A field near Römerberg-Heiligenstein on the other side of the railway.

Plans

I expect just another acre to walk in, get some dirty shoes, meet nobody and walk out again, but it is too close to home to not to go. I’ll have some time in the evening and will try to walk there to gain at least a new achievement. Except anyone will be there at another time, I’ll be there after 8 pm. Maybe, I’ll visit the nearby graveyard and ride back by train.

Expedition

My first opportunity for a walk geohash, just 4 KM from home. I started at quarter past seven when girlfriend went singing. It's funny, how much more things you see when walking, even compared with riding your bike. So I found three bridges, some redcurrants (already red) and some roses. As I expected I found the hash lying 30 m into a field. There were the same plants as on the field the day before yesterday, but they were planted much denser and so I doubt that it is salad. Anyway, I still could walk between them without doing any harm to them and as it is raining in almost complete germany except here the soil was dry and I didn't even get dirty shoes.

When I left the hashpoint it was 20:06 and I remembered that a train goes in Heiligenstein at 20:12. So I hurried to the train station, which I could already see from the hash (I even forgot to take a picture of myself but caught this up when I was back on the path between the field and the railway). I reached the station at 20:13 but found out that I remembered the wrong time. It was 20:19. So I had plenty of time to buy a ticket (1,50€) and even had time to enjoy the little beer, I took with me to celebrate the hash. Only the cemetery has to wait for the next hash in Heiligenstein.
