Location

Northern Haarlem, North Holland province, the Netherlands.

Participants

FelixTheCat (talk)
qistoph (talk)

Expedition

This hash looked pretty easy, located in a park on the edge of a residential neighbourhood in Haarlem. I went there, found the spot, took a few pics, and spent a few minutes watching planes land at Schiphol Airport (nice view of the approach to 18R). After that I went on to visit a few museums, among which the very interesting Museum of the Steam Engine in Medemblik (definitely worth a visit if you're into old machinery that's huffing and puffing and dripping with oil).

Photos

Entering Heksloot park.
This weird contraption (apparently based on a skip) by MOS Groundwater Engineering seems to be used for some water management task.
The park. The hash is about 200m ahead on the right.
Found it!

Looking west, over a polder with cows and planes.
View towards the residential neighbourhood.
Looking south, with windmills and a radio tower.
