Location

Within city boundaries, somewhere next to Lichtwiese campus of the university. According to the map, on a forest path.

Participants

Rincewind, Yakamoz and TheOffspring

Expedition

On Thursday, Rincewind checked the app and discovered this looks like a near, easy to reach hash. We planned to go after TheOffspring's working day (i.e., Kindergarden), if the weather allows.

While it was rather chilly, it was dry and we met at Kindergarden after Yakamoz' work and fetched TheOffspring. TheOffspring was intrigued where we would go and had some snacks in the car. We parked somewhere convenient and actually checked out where to go. It was just some 350 meters walking, but the Offspring came to the conclusion that this wasn't much of an adventure and that she was just being dragged along through a damp forest soon.

Behind allotment gardens, there was a small bridge over small Darmbach river, and just 20m further, directly next to a crossroads there was the coordinates on the gravel path through the forest. Since this is the bicycle road between Darmstadt and Roßdorf, it made quite a lot of people unsuspecting hashers that day. The hard gravel made it a bit difficult to properly mark the spot and we didn't want to pile sticks for unsuspecting cyclist to run over with the pending nightfall.

So we took our photos and went home to enjoy the weekend. Yay, success! :)
