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....
