Expedition

Finally the hashpoint came close to Karl_77's house again! As it was only about 2,6 km to the hash point, Karl_77 and Kristallviolett decided to walk and to try the Tron Achievement. On their way they made to short stops, one at an ice cream parlor and one at a LIDL supermarket to get some water. Kristallviolett went into the supermarket so Karl_77 wouldn't screw up his Tron track. The hash point was rather unspectacular, just an empty meadow next to a small road. On the way back the battery of Karl_77's phone got empty. Fortunately Kristallviolett's mobile is using the same battery so they could change and continue the tracklog right after a reboot. It was a successfull expedition with two new achievements for Karl_77 and a lot of nice sunlight.

A hashpoint in walking distance? On a sunny day? And even a report indicating that the coordinates are reachable? Sounds like an ideal after-work expedition for me!
