After a quick and somewhat improvised setup meeting, they grabbed some mountain gear (terrain maps screamed 'surprise!'), set up their GPS devices and began their journey.

Location

In the woods in the middle of nowhere.

Today's hash was located approximately 50km south of Waidhofen an der Ybbs, in the woods on a hill in the so called 'Gamsforst'.



Participants



Plans

Although both patrizius and b2c had other plans for the day, they both had to reconsider because of the bad weather. So why not go for a quick hash? But, as we know, things sometimes escalate quickly. The hash fell in the upper-right most corner of the graticule, which allowed an (somewhat) easy grab of one of the last virgin graticules in Austria, the Knittelfeld graticule. So, why not go for it?

Expedition

After a quick and somewhat improvised setup meeting, they grabbed some mountain gear (terrain maps screamed 'surprise!'), set up their GPS devices and began their journey. Although the weather was unsettled and there was lot's of traffic, they steadily made their way towards the hash, passing Krems, St. Pölten Waidhofen and Wieselburg on the way. The hashpoint was located somewhat afar from the state road L31, so they turned into a small, winding road and followed it for a couple of kilometres. When the hash appeared to be only a couple hundred meters away they parked the car, changed shoes and started to make their way up a hill. The rain was nice enough to take a break so they could spare the raincoats. They had to cross a wide meadow to reach the forrest in which it appeared the hash had taken refuge. But not for long! After a little bit of zig-zagging because of a dodgy GPS signal, they claimed one of Austria's last virgin graticules. Hooray!
