My meeting at Vulcan High Command having finished on time at 16:00 and having 6 hours before my flight home I decided to try walking to Frankfurt Airport. I noticed there was a very nice forest under the flightpath (BMI using the new western runway) and reckoned there ought to be some way across the railway, autobahn and other obstacles into the airport...
 |
| This track appears to be going the right way |
 |
| Occupied by a young, and very noisy, woodpecker - sadly camera shy |
 |
| Ohhhh - wild strawberries! |
 |
| Yup - still heading in the right direction |
 |
| The signpost says it is 3.5km more to the viewing point - but I want departures - and that is just across the road/autobahn/railway/perimeter road/etc. |
 | ||
| Getting close now (the new train station) - but there does not seem a way in - perhaps I can get up into that bridge |
 |
| Aha! Just need to get across the busy road |
 | ||
| No luck - its a fire escape - and security locked at the top |
 |
| Wait - these two businessmen appear to have a local minder - I will follow (and the police stopped the traffic so they could cross) |
 |
| Success! |
 |
| and my reward - €17 of sausages from all the regions |
 |
| It would have been easier (but less fun) with a map - I walked from Lyoner Strasse (near the river bridge) to point A. |
