Expedition

Today was the official start of this years rowing season in my club and so I had to go rowing in the morning. I stayed there until a quarter past four. But the hash was so close to home that I had to go there. So I made a litte detour on my way home (in the end it was 13 kilometers more to drive, what matches perfectly with my fuel-policy). 2 kilometers from the hash was a parking area in the forest. Sun was shining, spring was everywhere and so it was a big pleasure to walk the way to the hash (although I was already tired from all the rowing today). I decided to make a little detour and got (a little) lost on my way back.

So I stumbled on a very sandy area, and a sign told me, that it was stubbed last year to build a dry grassland there. Those dunes had been quite familiar around here. They builded during the last ice age, but are pretty rare nowadays, partly because they were overgrown by the forest, mostly because they were used to win sand for building streets.

After 40 minutes and 4 kilometers walk I returned to my car and drove home.
