Location

A field near the Messe Mainz Hechtsheim (fair area in Mainz).

Participants

• QuarterCacher
• M
• LadyBB
• Mampfred

Plans

QuarterCacher and M had to go to the Mainz train station in the early evening in order to pick up some of our Clogging kids. As the hash was just about 15 minutes away we decided to go hashing an caching before. Called Mampfred and LadyBB and they took a short detour on their way back (from where the Clogging kids above started as well - it's complicated, don't ask ;) to meet us near the hash.

Expedition

QuarterCacher and M went for two nearby Geocaches before hashing as we were waiting for Mampfred and LadyBB:

• GC2C8RM - found
• GC26TBF - found

Mampfred and LadyBB arrived just after we finished caching so we met near the hash and started walking through the fields. Luckily the hash point lay directly on a furrow between two fileds, about 60 meters form the next field path. Nice sunny weather, dry but freezing cold and windy.

We finished the successful hash with a nice burger at McDonalds nearby where we spotted a phone booth but were too lazy to stuff it ... some other time then :)
