Location

Next to a sports field in Mainz.

Participants

Plans

Go there in the afternoon and visit a couple of Geocaches afterwards.

Expedition

Went there, hash was pretty unspectacular in a strip of grass next to a sports field. QuarterCacher took a 360° panorama, which will be posted here when ready.

We proceeded to do some Geocaches and actually found the first one less than 100 meters from the hash, we could actually see the hash from the cache, so that at least gives us an honorable mention.

The rest of the Geocaches:

GC27JER - found
GC14VHJ - found
GC10TMN - found
GC2577E - found

In particular GC14VHJ was a bit adventurous as it was a climb Geocache. We got very close to giving up before QuarterCacher actually spotted the Cache up in one of the trees. He then decided that he couldn't take it if we got home without logging this one so he had a look around the "Schrebergärten" in the area and actually found a ladder and got permission from the owner to use it (Our excuse was "we accidentally threw something in a tree and want it back").

We made sure that no-one could see us and took the ladder to the Cache. After some more climbing in the tree we got it and logged it. Well done QuarterCacher!

And a special "Hi" goes to "The X-Mans", who actually visited all of the geocaches we did but in the opposite direction. We probably passed by them at some point but didn't notice.
