Location

The hash was located on top of a store building.

Participants

Plans

I was travelling to Düsseldorf by train. During the trip I checked out the hashpoint. The closest hash appeared to be deep in the woods, which was not ideal since I was wearing a suit and some nice dress shoes. So I decided to go for another hash, which was about 110 kilometers away. From the satellite images it looked like the hash was located on top of a building which was part of a shopping center with big parking lots in between. Plenty of tarmac.. Wouldn't wanna ruin my good shoes, would I? ;)

Expedition

Arriving at Düsseldorf main station I immediately boarded a rental car, a BMW 740i. I entered the coordinates into the beamers satnav and took off. There was heavy traffic, so I was a bit concerned not making the hash in time due to a roadblock. But I arrived at the scene with plenty of time to spare. At the parking lot I approached the hash hugging the wall of the building passing a huge billboard on the way. At the corner of the building I realized I wouldn't be getting any closer to the hashpoint so I snapped a few pics, got back into the car and took off, only stopping at McDonalds for refreshments.
