Location

A forest in Zurich's Seebach district.

Plans

The hash lies less than a km away from my usual jogging route, I'm then going to make a small detour and visit the hash before breakfast, so I don't think I'll meet anyone. But you never know. Since I usually plan my jog so that I don't cross my own path, I'll try to achieve the Tron badge, hoping I don't get lost between the trees.

I have a congress in the Oerlikon district and plan to step by in the morning as well. When did you plan to be there? --Calamus 16:56, 5 September 2013 (EDT)

Calamus

If you don't reply, I'll catch: S16 at 8.17am from Zurich to Oerlikon, bus 75 to Schönauring, arriving at hashpoint before 8.45. --Calamus 17:32, 5 September 2013 (EDT)

Sorry, I was already asleep when you wrote me, and went jogging before checking my mail :( I was at the hashpoint at around 7:30. See you next time! -- Guga2112 (talk) 03:22, 6 September 2013 (EDT)

Expedition

Calamus

The northern part of Zurich was actually Calamus's least favorite part. Especially in Oerlikon, the buildings just didn't fit each other, and while it wasn't exactly dirty, car emissions reached a smellable level here. However, he had hardly ever been to Seebach, which was to the north of even Oerlikon, and he'd heard it to be much better.

As it happened, Calamus had a convention in Oerlikon these days, so going to Seebach wasn't more than a little detour in the morning. Calamus took the bus from Oerlikon station and soon reached what was even less urban than the rest of the city. In fact, Calamus wasn't sure whether he was still on the city's terrain, as the landscape mostly consisted of plains, woods and brooks, only a few houses blocking the view. Calamus really liked this neighbourhood right from the start.

The way to the hashpoint wasn't far. It was in a small forest, just a few steps off the path. The only problem that while he was homing in on the point, his GPS stopped updating. A restart fixed the problem, however, so he took his pictures and returned to the convention, easily in time for the first presentation.
