Expedition

Saturday, March 17th, 12:20: Juja send a last note about the confusion in the hash report of March 16th to me and then started into holiday. In the week to come there will be no one here to discover hash points that are "to close to miss". Yeah!

Thursday, March 22th, 17:58: I found an e-mail from Reinhard, containing the coordinates of today's hash point and the sentence: "Great that you care about it!". Damn!

Thursday, March 22th, sometime in the evening: Will I go there or not? Of course, it's really near. But on the other hand - why?

Friday, March 22th, 15:54: Okay, work is over, weekend has arrived, weather is fine (at least better than in the days before). Let's do something stupid and go to the point. I cycled 3 or 4 km in south direction to Wöllnitz, entered Pennickental and parked my bike as the climb became steeper. True heroes would have gone up to the top on bike, but I am no true hero. So I went up the mountain on foot, following the yellow trail. The higher I came, the more snow lay on the ground, making it slippery. A direction board just beside the trail gave the hint “sure-footedness required” just for the way I used. I wondered if slippery shoes on slippery ground would fulfill this requirement, but hey this is a geohash, of course it would. I safely reached the top of the hill. 80 meters before the point I had to leave the trail and enter the wood. It was not particularly dense, with only a few shrubs. So no real challenge for a real geohasher.

Friday, March 22th, 17:25: Coordinates reached. Time to take some photos and walk home again.

Friday, March 22th, 17:37: Climbing up a hill with slippery shoes on slippery ground is one thing, but after going it down again you know why the board recommended to be sure-footed.
