Unfettered

With sunshine in the forecast I decided it was again time for a train trip to the countryside for some disc golf. I'd been periodically checking Udisc since some of the (relatively) nearby courses are seasonal or limited access. In particular the course at  Schwabmünchen  had been removed due to Covid then recently reopened.

I was one of the first people on and took one of the seats with a table which...
