Expedition

After leaving home at about 10:00, the start of the route was my walk to school from over a decade ago, so was quite nostalgic. The rest of the route was also familiar, but I still made a slight navigational error, crossing the H5 too early. Fortunately, this had very little effect on the length of my journey, and I reached the general vicinity of the hash at about 10:50.

Found it

The hash itself was just on the other side of a barbed wire fence, but I was well within the gps circle of uncertainty just by leaning over the fence, so I did not feel the need to climb it.

Stupid grin

I then walked up a hill and took photos of a couple of sculptures in the park (red cross marks the approximate hash location).

The "Light Pyramid"

"Chain Reaction"

I had also brought a kite with me, hoping to fly it, but photographing this by myself was rather challenging. The only place I could be in the wind and in view of the hash was next to the light pyramid. I left my tablet leaning against the light pyramid videoing me, but as this was only a few meters away from the edge of the hill, I couldn't fit the kite a full length in frame. Instead, I flew it on a couple of meters of string to get the picture, then did some proper kite flying afterwards.

I set off at about 11:10. The return journey was uneventful, and I took the correct route this time, bringing me home at 12:00.
