Location

The hash is on a street in Roden, so once you're there, it's easy to reach it. No special permissions or climbing required.

Participants

Shevek and a friend

Plans

I have quite a busy day, so I'm not sure if I'll make it. I hope to go there by scooter, so I can get the speed racer achievement (I suppose the maximum speed is 30 km/h). If I happen to have a lot of time, I might go by bike, but I don't think so.

I've found a friend willing to join me, we'll cycle there together. I'm still hoping to make the speedracer achievement. :-) We'll probably be there around 15:00.

Expedition

Shevek

I had to go to the store, and the only one open on this easter monday was in the wrong direction, but close to where Loni would arrive by train. So I first went there and picked her up. Together we first went to the store, which wouldn't open until 16:00. Ah well. So we went to the hash by bike. I had taken my Alleweder trike (see photos), which is great for cycling against the wind, but city-builders don't expect it, so it's not always possible to pass though places which are intended for normal bikes. (See photo). With some effort, I managed to cycle down and up the stairs. I also passed shallow paths with only one front wheel on the path. Still, Loni had a much harder time than I, because we had a strong wind against us. She, too, made it without complaining, though.

At the hash location, I took out my gps unit, which is my laptop. Unfortunately, it doesn't change its value if it's moving slowly (walking speed), so it's hard to get it to exactly the right coordinates. But since we walked all over the place, I'm sure we have been at the hash. The screenshot shows coordinates which are really close.

After the hash, we went to a nearby geocache. We had thought about doing another cache, which is a walk in the forest, but due to the rain that had started, we skipped that.

Photos

Coming soon.

Achievements
