About

Todays hash was just a bit north of Ulm, so we decided to give it a go even though the weather forecast was quite horrible (snow, wind).

Expedition

We had scoped out the area earlier in the day whilst we were searching for a geocache in the area (which we didn't find, probably due to some hints being buried under the snow). So we already knew where it was (in a field near the highway-exit Ulm-Ost).

We were able to drive to within a few hundrer meters of the point but then had to make our way against the wind and through loose snow approximately 30-40 cm high. So we stumbled a bit ..

When we reached the point we made a little mound out of snow (and left our "the Internet was here" sign in/on it).

Since the pictures don't do the whole expedition justice, I made a short movie with my photo-camera. Sorry for the Blair-Witch-ness of it ... it's [[1]] here.
