Participants

• CamelCase (talk)
• a mysterious person

Plans

We are going to meet at the northernmost end of the platform the S2 departs from S Potsdamer Platz in the direction of S Bernau.

• Due to weather conditions CamelCase (talk) won't be carrying a shoe box.

ETA: 15:00 You'll need a ticket which will allow you to travel through the Berlin ABC fare zones for two hours in either direction.

Expedition

Having arrived at Bernau station we took a bus to a stop near the hash point. We then walked the remaining two kilometers. First the map took us into a strawberry plantation onto a private road not leading anywhere. We returned onto the road we came from and found a way around that plantation, which led us into a horse ranch with no obvious way to reach the hash. Taking a detour through the forest we discovered that the hash point was inside a fenced area. We tried to get as close as we could, without trespassing, took a picture and turned back. On the way back we visited a local Squishy(tm) dealer and bought a Squishy each. They turned out not to taste very squishy.
