Location

A field or meadow in Gundelfingen. About 500 m from the local train station and extremely close to all sorts of civilization.

Participants

• Hijackal lives so close he feels he must go there. Given the very weekendish date and ridiculously short distance, baked goods are not entirely unlikely.
• Frizzy
• Crox and Elisa

Plans

• On 2016-01-01, Hijackal found that this hash is amazingly close to home, leaving basically no excuse not to go. He may try to convince Frizzy to come along. Hijackal's long-standing plan to teach someone to juggle at a hash are still unfulfilled.
• Crox and Elisa will first visit the Antikythera exhibition in Basel, before going to the hashpoint. ETA 14:30.

Expedition

Hijackal and Frizzy

Around two o'clock we left the climbing hall in Freiburg aiming for the parking space at the football fields and the Obermattenbad in Gundelfingen. Close to the coordinates we found a bench and waited there for the other two hashers Crox and Elisa. After a while we saw the other two hasher walking across the football field heading for our bench. Unfortunately the football field was fenced with no second exit and they had to return and walk all the way around. We just kept waiting on our bench. And after a while the other two hashers came around the corner. After the meet-up we walked the last meters to the coordinates, located on a muddy meadow, together. A stupid grin, some cereal bars and a short juggling workshop later, we went back to the parking space and said goodbye to the other two hashers. They left for the train station (long journey home, see other story) and we took our car (very short journey home, only 5 minutes).

Yay, first Geohash after a break of around 2,5 years :)
