Plans

Likely to be an evening hash. Leaving home at 17.20, getting a bus to Civezzano (20 mins trip) and walking to the hashpoint from there. There is an awesomely timed bus to Trento at 18.29 which also stops at Maso Zandonà (closer to the hashpoint than Civezzano).

Should be an easy one, but obtaining complete proof is probably out of the question as it would imply standing in the middle of a fairly busy road. I will probably settle for a Googlemapsesque picture from the roadside.

If the weather was beautiful enough (highly unlikely) and if I was able to get a bike (mine was stolen time ago), I might bike there- it's around 7km from my house. I'll see tomorrow.

Expedition

Fairly easy, with no major events really. Left home earlier to ensure a stop at the comic shop in the city centre, then headed to the station from where I took the coach to Civezzano. The weather was worse than predicted- it actually rained and it was pretty windy. Still better than my recent expedition to Segno though.

Arrived on time, took SP71 from Civezzano and walked my way to the hashpoint. The road wasn't busy, despite being the time when commuters come home from work. Still, I didn't felt like standing in the middle of the road looking for the perfect hashpoint- the Streetviewesque picture I promised clearly shows I got there, and it's enough proof to me.

The wind got worse on my way back to Civezzano, and I actually ended up wetter than in Segno as the umbrella was almost pointless. The return trip proved as problem-free as the rest of the hash.

(I'm claiming it this time: getting sick of hashing through water!)
