Location

A pathside out of Effretikon

Participants

Calamus

Plans

Hop on the S3 train to Effretikon, walk from there or take the bus.

Expedition

It was one of the last announced days warm enough to wander lightly dressed. Thus Calamus caught the train to Effretikon to charge himself with the last bit of sun.

The sun made the roofs of Effretikon glisten this Friday morning, and busy-looking people walked the streets, which was a surprise. Effretikon is one of the few minor towns which are actually busier on weekends. This is because the nearby castle of Kyburg attracts many visitors, one of which had been Calamus when he'd been a child. But since then, this was the first time he visited the town. After buying a butter pretzel at the bakery and stocking up on batteries, he left the town.

His path led him along a planet walk, which might also have been the reason why he overtook school classes on two separate occasions. He couldn't argue with the teachers' decision; it was a wonderfulday to walk through the forest.

The hashpoint was a short way behind Saturn, right on the path near a farmhouse. Calamus took his pictures and turned back.
