Expedition

π π π (log from April 2020)

At first I wasn't sure whether I'd do this one, but when in the late afternoon it didn't rain and I hadn't been outside all day, I decided to go for it, and I took our old Twister game to get this achievement. From my home, I cycled 10.5 km to the hash, missing some turns and thus increasing the distance. Arriving in the forest, I waited for a horsewoman to pass, then walked the last 70 m to the location. I did the hashdance, found the spot that best matched the marker after a few minutes, and took photos. Then I unpacked the Twister game. It was very sticky and disgusting, but I spread the blanket on the hash, spun the hand a few times, and put my limbs on the corresponding colour each time. I was nervous more riders would come by and see me in this hilarious situation, but thankfully none did. I'm not sure I ever felt more ridiculous than right there, playing Twister by myself on a random location in a random forest 10 km from home, and grinning stupidly as I took a selfie. But anything for the achievement, I guess. Then I cycled the same way home, listening to my usual podcast/audiobook.
