This hash placed right near a retro hash I wanted to do as a sort of pilgrimage if you will, so I planned to do two hashes in one trip. The weather was forecast to be showery, so I considered driving, but as the weather didn't look too bad (at first) and Krempe has it's own regional train station near the hashes, I decided to go by train and bike to save on emissions. I asked π π π if he wanted to come, too. He said yes; we'd take the same train and meet in the train or at Krempe station.

After I came home from a short trip to Hamburg with a few friends I packed my drone and some other stuff for the trip to the hashes. I wanted to take the bike to the train station and take it with me in the train to Krempe, as the way from there to the hashes was too long to walk. It was raining pretty bad, but I had already confirmed to π π π that I'd go by train. I bought a daysaver ticket for myself the usual way using the general DB Navigator app, but now I also needed a special ticket for my bike for the first time. I experimented a while to try and get it to work in the usual app but it didn't seem possible and time was running out, so I postponed to later and went on my way through the rain.
My leather jacket (without hood) and sweatshirt jacket with rain proof hood were good, but my trousers were totally soaked after the first few hundred meters. Luckily the train station isn't too far away from my home. When I got there I started looking into the booking process for the bike ticket again and found out I could buy it on the DB website, not the app, or download a separate app for the specific traffic association, the HVV. The train was late a few minutes (typical DB...), so I ad time to download the HVV app and buy the bike ticket there. Then the train arrived, I boarded and was finally out of the rain. π π π boarded the next station, but at another wagon, so we didn't see each other until we reached Krempe. The ride was uneventful, I just listened to music the whole way and wasn't checked.
I got off at Krempe, where the sun was shining bright, and met π π π for the first time. We did a little small talk while we wheeled our bikes to the street, then got on, rode near the hash and parked our bikes at the street. Before us lay a small pasture and a wheat field. I didn't want to trample the wheat, so I considered aborting and just going by drone proxy, but π π π saw some tractor tracks we could use to get near the hash without trampling too much wheat, so we used these as far as possible.
It had rained previously, so the ground was muddy and wet with some larger puddles. Luckily, I wore my safety boots, so I could march right through these - π π π wasn't as lucky...
We got to the hash without further problems and without anyone noticing and took a few pictures. I unpacked and started my drone, took a few further photos and packed it up again. Π π π and I each ate a cookie he brought as an award, then we went back the way we came, still trying to trample as few wheat as possible.
When we got back I decided to also take a few pictures of the pipeline I had already seen on the way to my first "real" hash, so unpacked and packed the drone again.
All the while, it began to rain a little bit again, but not too bad. We got on our bikes and continued to the next hash, the retro hash 2005-05-26 53 9.
The rest of the report can be found there.
