Participants

Plans

Walk there, celebrate, return.

Expedition

Well, this one was surprisingly hard to reach.

The hash was very near Gefierbrands flat (almost exactly 1 km) and located only a few meters from a nice small path on what looked like steep, but easily reachable terrain on the map. It would have been possible to approach the hash from the hillside, but we desided against going downhill into unknown terrain and chose a path through a nice little valley instead, even though this ment we had to cross a small stream at some point.

To our delight, there was a little wodden bridge pretty much exactly where we had intended to traverse the water. However, our luck stopped there for a while. We had to climb the hillside. The remaining straigt line distance was ony a few dozen meters, but besides being steep, the terrain was also rugged, covered in brambles and other very thorny shrubbery and slippery (as you can see in one of the pictures). Moreover the GPS reception was initially bad and we had to rummage arround for quite a bit until luck returned and Santu managed to find the exact location.

Pedro somehow managed to navigate through all this and also had a much easier time returning back down than his human counterparts. We were covered with painfull stitches everywhere, but the dog escaped unscathed. To our surprise, no one was attacked by raptors during the expedition.

Since one fallen down tree was particulary inviting, both Santu and Gefrierbrand absolutely had to climb on it before returning back.
