Plans

It seems that the Hash wants to offend me, just Jumping up and down the Rhine valley. But I will catch him again tomorrow. I will go by train to Biebesheim, where I started today and walk through the Hash to Groß-Gerau.

I will be at the Hash around 4 pm.

Expedition

I've lost my GPS device yesterday but I knew quite good where I might have left it. On the other hand, The walk from Biebesheim to the Hash and further to the Hotel was "only" 22 kilometers and so I decided to break my trainride in Biblis and walk to the little hut where I suspect it. I hid my luggage in a thicket, so I don't have to carry it all the way. After 6 Kilometers of walking I reached the Hut and the Gadget just Lied there and didn't make a sound (that is only half true as the display showed a message that energy is low and this is usually accompanied by a beep).

I found the remains of a nearby castle, that was founded by the Romans more than 1500 years ago. On my way back it started to rain and I reached Biblis pretty wet and quite dirty. Nevertheless I walked into the -surprisigly unispired-town to look for a backery and bought some food for the way before I returned to the Station.

20 minutes later the real walk begun. 4 hours later I reached the freshly ploughed hashfield and had to walk 100 m into it. The soil was surprisingly solid and the shoes didn't get to dirty.

Although I was very tired I had to walk for another ona and a half hour before I reached the Hotel after a total of more than 36 kilometers of walking.
