Expedition
I saw that todays hashpoint was near my way to the office, and so I decided to go there on my bull, if the weather would be fine (it was raining all day for the last three days).
There were no clouds this morning and so nothing could stop me (OK, it has been a very cold night and the streets were icy and slippery. I had to ride slower than usual.)
I had to ride eastwards in the direction of the Odenwald and when I came near the hashpoint the heaven over the valley of the Neckar got very bright because the sun came up there. So I got the idea to gain a sunrise-achievement and hurried on to reach the hash before the sun did.
I reached the fence of the barracks at 8:20. Officially sunrise was at 8:15 but the sun was still hidden behind the mountains of the Odenwald and (at this particular place) behind the military buildings. I left the bull at the fence and walked almost 100 m into the ploughed field. After almost no dance I reached a zero (that was already gone again when I took the picture). I took several pictures, went back to my bull and continued the ride. I was still at the hash field when I left the shadow of the barracks and I made a short stop to take a picture for the proof of the sunrise.
At 8:45 I reached the office. That is the street in front of the office, but when I tried to turn into the entrance, the bull lost its grip and I fell. Yes, it was still slippery :-(
