Planning

I will probably be there early in the day.

Expedition

w00t! I cycled the whole way and back, which I think is pretty amazing, what with being a lazy, fat nerd and all. The trip was very uneventful, though, so I'll just present my proof and photos and collect my achievements :)

Tracklog

Due to technical problems*, only my way back is properly and completely recorded and displayed on EveryTrail. But since I took the exact same way back as when I got to the hash, there's no significant loss of data.

*It turns out that when I put the GPS in my jacket's front pocket, my body shields the satellite signals so that the accuracy drops drastically, sending the track way off, making it look like I rode through buildings and stuff. On the way back, I'd figured out that I can use the small pocket on my left upper arm (yay for army jackets!) and not suffer from that effect.
