Plans

Closing in on 100 expeditions! However, this one will probably be unsuccessful.

Expedition

I took three trains to Klein Borstel in late afternoon and then cycled 2.9 km to the hashpoint, finishing my audiobook on the way (Andy Weir's brilliant Project Hail Mary). The hash lay inside a private building (rather: a mansion), the property was completely fenced off and the gate was video surveilled. But I could look through the gate and saw a big house with two wings and a huge terrace with (I kid you not) a life-size bronze statue of a child in front. Man, the things rich people like. I took some pictures at the gate, 31 m from the hash, then set off again.

The address of the house was Up de Worth 1a, which sounds like a weird mix of English and French, but is actually partly Low German and partly Old Saxon and means "On the Court Site".

On my way back, I cycled along the river Alster, which runs less than 300 m from the hashpoint. I took my time, exploring both banks and directions as well as some other lakes and even moors and trying to take some good nature photos (ended up taking 22). I even saw a heron, but didn't manage to photograph it. I arrived back at Klein Borstel after 40 minutes and went home.
