Plans
I will leave Kassel in the morning and will arrive at the hash around 13:00. I can wait for 15 minutes.
Expedition
On the way to Limburg, all went as planned. In Limburg I went to the hash. I arrived there at 12:45. It was twenty steps on the way to the south. And took the usual photos. Then I wanted to wait there, as planned. I saw the bench and sat down. But a cracking was there, from the opposite trees, it sounded very dangerous. Two firs at the crossing were snagged to each other. While they were waved by the storm, they drifted around and the snagged branches made this loud sound. I didn't want to wait at the crossing and wandered around while waiting. Until 13:15 nobody arrived and I wrote a mark onto the nearest tree and went away.
For the panel at the tree: a lot of trees in this forest have such panels, describing all the sort of the trees.
On my way home later on the day, there I got a problem. A big tree was fallen onto the rails of the railway and disturbed the trains' wire. At Marburg I had to wait one hour, at Kirchhain I had to wait one hour, and at Stadtallendorf I had to wait three hours to travel home. I arrived at Kassel at 2:30. Good service.
