Plans

Today's hash seemed to be accessible, and required just a small(ish) detour from my trip to a New Year's event near Amsterdam.

Expedition

I got up early and set my car's GPS to today's coordinates. Officially Oudewater is a city, but by today's standards it's a rural village. The hash seemed to be located a little off the road at the northwestern edge of the "city". I parked my car in front of a building nearby and walked towards the hash. It seemed like I had to cross a ditch to get there, but luckily there was a crossing nearby. The area actually turned out to be a park, although with very tall grass. The ground was also very wet and muddy. As I approached the hash, a startled hare jumped out of the grass and ran away. Finally, I reached the hash (next to a small tree), took a few pictures, went back to the car and on to my event.

Outside the city are just fields.

Lots of little apples on the ground. I'm no botanist, but I think this means that the hashtree is of the genus Malus.
