About

Today's hash was still on the area of the town of Tübingen, in the Rammert forest near the Hofgut Eck farm (shown on google maps with the funny but wrong name "Eek"). Although the Rammert isn't really a large forest, it's known for being a maze of twisty little dirt roads, in which, though not all alike, people frequently lose their sense of orientation. This is of course known by the various map services, map printers and the forest authority, so they take huge effort to draw waynets for the forest, none alike. They all show a lot of creativity with this. So, if going there, it's always a good idea to bring a few kilometres of string or a [GPS].

The weather forecast was horrible, there should be snow and strong wind.

Ekorren and Nick_mz agreed to shift the official time to 14:30 this time and published it on the graticule page, thus making it possible to attend the first real meetup in this graticule.
