Participants
Retro Expedition on 2012-03-28
Reinhard had an other two-hour-WOP this Wednesday, but there was no hashpoint close enough to cycle there and back within two hours. On the other hand there was this inverse retro hash of the following day, on which no WOPs promised to occur, so now was the chance to get there and prove the coordinates can be reached. Starting shortly after half past seven, the small village of Podelsatz, where Reinhard has been some years before, was reached easily in less than 40 minutes. Bearing in mind the satellite view, which as usual was much more flat than reality, Reinhard left the gravel path in a bend behind the village and started climbing a valley with trees and brushwood and a clue of something like an unused track. Dusk was proceeding quickly, while at some point Reinhard was already departing from the hashpoint. Time to make a left turn and start climbing (even more) the hillside. That part was easier than imagined and from the top it was just crossing an almost flat meadow and recognizing that the hash was some meters behind that meadow and an adjacent path within impenetrable brushwood (with sounds of fleeing wild animals). Reinhard was not going to crawl the remaining 5 m, especially since it wasn't the right date to do so and nobody would care at all.
