Park Meijendel in The Hague.

Expedition

Today's hash was in Meijendel, a large dune area on the northern end of The Hague. It was a beautiful spring day, so I got up early and rode my bike through Delft, Rijswijk, Voorburg and The Hague. Meijendel is a great place to walk or cycle, and I had been there many times before. I parked my bike at a bike stand and walked the last bit towards the hash. Unfortunately, there was a gate with a "no entry" sign about 180 metres from my target. Therefore, I got back on my bike and rode on, hoping to find a way to the other side that wasn't blocked. This didn't work, and it appeared the hash was really inside a no-go area. Still, I had a nice ride, and covered about 42 km in total.

This expedition turned out to be very similar to my trip to Katwijk about six months ago.
