Expedition

I arrived at 17:50h, as planned. What I didn't plan for was that it was going to be completely dark by that time. The location was in the middle of a few farming fields, with no form of lighting whatsoever. I used my phone's camera LED as a flashlight, and luckily its battery didn't die before reaching the location of the hash.

Also, it had been raining that day, and the only way to reach the location with dry feet was to walk over the "wandelweg" that makes a circle around the fields and ends up close to my location. Quite a detour, but okay.

For the last part, I had to go off the "wandelweg" and walk through a grassy field on my right side. Remember, it was pitch dark. After walking about 100m, the grassy field disappeared between a few trees, and I decided that this was far enough and started heading back.

Being out in pitch black darkness, on unknown territory, between muddy fields in the middle of nowhere is not something I would recommend. This was my first hash, and I'll remember next time to go when there is light and to wear rubber boots when the target location is somewhere in nature :-)
