Plans

Grab Winterbuche in the morning, don't know exactly when, and bike to the hash. If I am quick enough, I might be able to have lunch back at home.

Expedition

Today was not the most sunny day. It was raining a bit in the morning, and it might be going on and off until the afternoon, but it was a very thin rain. Typical north-german weather. I had a route in mind, and could do it clockwise or counter-clockwise. Since I had a 2 hours window with no rain forecast, I decided clockwise, this way and the way back I would be going through forest area and in case of rain I would be more protected. It kind of worked.

Another thing that had me worried was that my GPS did not have much battery. I noticed that yesterday but I overestimated it... ¿^^ That meant that the GPS died mid route, before reaching the hash. Luckily I had my phone with me and I used it as GPS. You may notice that the tracklog skips a part.

Concerning the expedition: Everything went more or less as planed. Cloudy day but the first part was done easily. I had a few caches to search along the route, but I had no luck in this aspect: all of them (3) were DNFs. Then the GPS stopped working. Well, I was almost there, I knew what path to take.

I saw that the hash fell behind a backyard of a house near a field. Being Saturday and not a sunny day there was not much going on there. I could approach the hash easily and taking pictures of the field in case anyone wondering what I was doing there. Then it is when it felt like it was going to start raining again. Luckily, as said, the way back was through forest and I did not feel much.

So, after the hash, I went through Hanshagen (becoming a typical passing point on my hash expeditions), and here was when it was raining more heavily. 20 minutes that I had to bike fast, passing by Friedrichshagen and a final sprint until I arrived at the NSG Eldena, again in the forest and protected from rain. But I was already slightly wet, not soaked, but uncomfortable enough. However, I was already only a few kilometres away from home.

The rest of the expedition was routine. With the particularity, that I took another path as usual, so that I could satisfy the tron achievement. However, I might not be able to claim this one. Not important. The expedition was a success :)

Achievements

SastRe.O earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the (54, 13) geohash on 2019-07-06.

SastRe.O with Winterbuche earned the Bicycle geohash achievement by cycling 30km to and from the (54, 13) geohash on 2019-07-06.

SastRe.O earned the Drowned Rat Geohash Honourable Mention by reaching the (54, 13) geohash on 2019-07-06 despite being partially wet from biking in the rain.

Is it true that SastRe.O earned the Tron achievement? In principle, yes. But the GPS died and has no complete tracklog of the expedition to show as proff. Also the search for caches might compromise the track. (2019-07-06 54 13).
