The hashpoint is at a playground in Wieblingen.

Despite severe time constraints, the hashpoint was too close to not go there. And by go, I mean run. A full report will follow next week.

They catch fish in the Neckar river.
He does, too.
Stop!
Tram time!
The hashpoint is on that playground.

I found a swing set!
Oooo...

Vegetationszonierung is a very German word.
Spring!
The conservative party's attempt at viral marketing

Piece of cake. This was a very good opportunity to get the Walk and the Tron Achievements. We met at Euterkuh's place, took two bottles of beer each with us and started from there. The distance was about 2.7 kilometers.

Shortly after we started we got attacked by huge swarms of gnats who lived at the Neckar River. We resisted their vile attacks and their attempts to get into our beer. Later, we passed two weird children, one of whom almost collected one of our empty bottles. We soon reached the hashpoint and looked for ilpadre's xkcd marker. After we had taken a few photos, fivetonsofflax ate a waffle and we went on our way back.

We wanted to claim the Tron achievement, so the following dialogue ensued: "You do know that we have to turn left?" - "Yes, well that's where we came from. Let's take another way." So we decided to make sure we could get the achievement and tried to find another way back. It all went well for a while. but after we had passed a field of rape, the way ended next to the tram tracks. We crossed them and went backwards, which suddenly turned out to be the right direction. Then we came to a huge fallow area close to the main station. It had gotten pretty dark by then and although this was our closest hashpoint yet, it was becoming quite adventurous. We somehow managed to get back to civilized areas and went straightly to our favourite Asian restaurant to have some sweet-and-sour meat... stuff.
