In a vineyard in the Höllenbrand between Gundersheim and Westhofen

Plans

The original plan was to go there on my bull, arrive at a quarter to four and try a ton also.

Expedition

A craftsman called me and announced his coming for today and so I started later than I wanted to, but I still had plenty of time to follow the plan, when I left 5 minutes to two. Then I must have made some mistake in installing the battery to the bull as it was already half empty when I wanted to start. So I could choose to go back and wait another hour until the battery ist full again or to try to go with half the power (or to quit the expedition at all as I also have a cold). Well, I decided to go anyway but to choose only the lowest support level (level1 out of five). That made it nearly impossible to arrive at 4 but I tried my best. Things went pretty well until I reached Offstein. A short time later I missed my way and landed in front of a busy road that couldn't be crossed. So I had to turn back almost 200 m and use the bridge. Adieu, tron :-(

A little bit later I crossed another motorway and found some well known letters. You can read them every time you use the autobahn A61in northern direction: HÖLLENBRAND. It's the name of a famous vineyard because it's aligned perfectly to the south.I took a picture, my bull had to climb a little bit and soon I stood 80 m away from the hash. I just had to choose one of the wide grassy lanes between the vines. I tried to take the one, where my bps-device seems to point in a rectangular direction but I landed 13 m away from my aim. So I walked back, counted 13 steps and had another trial. This time it was successful: 1m on the bps-device, 0,5m on the hashdroid. Some more pictures and then I continued my way to Worms, where I took the train back home.
