Plans

I had to drive to Neuwied at this weekend and as always I had a look for a nice hashing-occasion. And I found this one just next to my way back.

Expedition

I hoped that I could drive into a road for 1 KM but the road was blocked for by road works. So I had to park the car at the entrance to the road. I followed the road for the said kilometer and entered the forest there. The hash was less than 400m from here, but komoot didn't know many pathes towards it and so I had to improvise. I just followed some tracktor tracks and walked without a way always downwards in the direcrtion of the hash. I crossed another way and reached the ditch that should be close to the hash. Here I left his opath again and followed the upper bench of the ditch. When it was only 20 mor meters to the hash I found another wide path that lead me almost direct to the searched point. After a little dance I reached what I (and hashdroid also) called close enough. It was just in front of the steep bank of the ditch. I took some pictures, constructed a quick and easy mark and followed the found way.

From here it started raining, and when I reached the car almost half an hour later I would have earned a drowned rat - if rain had only started earlier :-)
