Expedition

For this expedition I first took the train from Darmstadt to Otzberg-Lengfeld. From there I cycled (via Habitzheim, Groß-Umstadt-Richen, Klein-Umstadt and Langstadt) to the hashpoint which was approx. a 21km ride. The hash was located directly next to a forest pathway, so there was no need to wander through the thicket.

Luckily, I arrived at the train station of Babenhausen (after another 5km) before it started to rain. I had missed the previous train back to Darmstadt just by 10 minutes, so I had to wait 50 minutes for the next to come. Back in Darmstadt, the rain had stopped already, so I could ride back without getting wet.

This has been my first expedition in the 49,9 graticule.
