Expedition

As part of my quest to visit all UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Netherlands, I was planning to visit a few forts belonging to the Defence Line of Amsterdam, which usually only open on Sundays. It was therefore quite a coincidence that this Sunday's hash was just 1 km away from Fort Veldhuis. It appeared to be located in a city park of some sort, so it should have been easy to reach.

Alas, as I approached the hash it turned out that one large section of what looked like a park was actually a fenced-off meadow. Although no livestock was on duty, it still looked like the only way to get to the hash would be to either jump across a stream or crawl over/under a fence. Oh well, at least I scored another point towards the Posted Achievement....

The hash is somewhere in the bushy area across the water.
The far end of this park is apparently a piece of "Struinnatuur". The verb struinen means something like "wander" or "browse", so this is a well-defined area where one is free to roam about. Naturally, the freedom to roam is tightly regulated here....
The grass on the other side of the stream is largely fenced off however. Note that the part on the right is still struinnatuur, so you're free to wander around over there.
Alas, no other means of getting to the other side.
Failed!
