Plans

The plan was to go in and out in the evening, between two football matches of the World Cup.

Expedition

Only 3.5 km away from home, this should be easy I thought... But I learned the hard way that this point clearly did not want to be geohashed.

It was a really pleasant evening, getting there by bike was no problem. However, the last 60 m were a torment: thicket, thorns, nettles, mud and swarms of mosquitoes. The obligatory GPS dance literally was a dance this time, because as soon as I stopped moving, the mosquitoes started to eat me alive.

After taking the GPS proof screenshot I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. Attempting this hash with short trousers was not the best of ideas.
