Plans

Who doesn't like plans?

  • Realized yesterday that my meeting would end in the early afternoon
  • Rented a car for the weekend
  • Asked the maitre d' which hash would be recommended for people without a GPS device.
  • Then decided that since yesterdays hash had been too easy, there would have to be a challenge
  • Segovia, Spain not only had an interesting terrain profile (I like mountains), but also the hash in a deserted (I meant devoid of structures at that time) forest, where I would have to identify the correct lump of trees based on the satellite images.
  • Hence the plan. I indicated all the sandy tracks I could make out, and any other landmark. Landmarks would be mostly significant bends in these tracks. In the close range, landmarks were large trees, casting a significant amount of shadow on the tracks.
  • Failsafe, eh?
