Yesterday: "The location is only about 5 km from my home. Fine!"

Today: "The weather is very bad. Shall I really go for it?"

Expedition

MikroKosmos

N 53°42.528 E 10°04.535 - the location is only about 5 km from my home. But during the last night there was a strong storm and today it rained a lot nearly all day! So I really didn't know, wether it was a good idea to go for this hash.

But then I thought: "Why not? Go!" I put on sports attire and rainwear, including rubber boots.

I cycled there with the wind in my back. Therefore this first part was "easy going". The last 300 m on a hiking trail were more difficult - it was very muddy and plashy. I parked my bicycle beneath a tree and started walking across a really swampy meadow.

My rubber boots were the right footwear!! :-)

After 100 m I had to leave the meadow to enter a muddy spinney. Here the old fence around the meadow with 4 rows of rusty barbed wire was the next obstacle. The fence posts were wet and there was no good place to climb over. So I laid down and slid through below it.

Some meters further between the trees were the hash-coordinates. It took a while, then my gps showed 1-2 m offset. It was ~17:30. I marked the position with crossed sticks and took photos. Besides I scanned the location for any signs or marks of π π π, but didn't see any.

Walking back over the meadow I was happy to have reached this "adventurous" place. On my way back, it started raining and of course, I had strong wind against me. Dampish, but not wet, I reached my home.

.oO( A really nice adventure!)
