My first in Europe, and first in quite a while... a successful return to the hashosphere!

Location

The hash is just a short distance from home... too tempting.

Expedition

I still seem to be stuck in nightshift mode (does it really matter when the sun is only up for 4 hours and hidden behind clouds!?) so when I see how close the hash is at 3am the night before I decide I might actually grace the "day" tomorrow. All I have to do is find my GPS... change maps to europe... where's the cable.. aaah batteries!!..... But eventually I'm reacquainted with my GPS friend and make it to sleep, hoping the hash is achievable.

Next "morning" (ok, afternoon) and amazingly - THERE IS SUN! For the first time in AGES! Well... no rain.

I drive a short while, and drive past the hash slightly, find an area to park and take a little walk. I've been past the area before but this is the first time I've walked around - the hashpoint is basically on the side of the road. I walk down to the water, then back up, realising there's a small bridge over water, and towards the hash.

Luckily I can make the hash from street level because another step or two and there's a huge drop! I am tempted to lean out that extra metre or so but the GPS jumps around the point, and I didn't think it wise to frighten the passing cars.

The best part is this hash gets me another Globetrotter continent woo!
