The hash was in the corner of a small courtyard in Prague near the underground stop Lužiny

Participants

Expedition

Dragon & Aneta

Well, I checked the map on the day before and saw that it was close and, surprisingly, easily reachable. I informed Aneta and the next day we set off straight after school. Armed with a digital camera, my (lightly fuzzy) memory of the satelite view and our "infallible" sense of direction, we set off to capture this hash. We took the line B to the subway station Lužiny for a starting point and after a while of walking I could point at a group of buildings in the distance and claim that I know where to go. We found the right combination of street names and shopping centre corners and took pictures at the hash. I guess we might have been standing about a meter or two off when we took the pictures.

All in all, I think this was an easy first hash for both of us. Too bad I didn't take a thermometer, judging by the evening weather report and the way my hand almost froze to the camera, I guess it would have been a frozen hash. Oh well, you can't have everything in life.

Work in progress!
