Location

At the back of / in an office in Leiden

Participants

Palmpje (talk) has to be near there in the morning so will attempt this one.

Plans

Park car in the general area and see if I can make it to the hashpoint. I may look silly!

Expedition

Made it, despite a security guard pacing around at the front! See picture of guard.... The path to the hashpoint was at the back of the guard at the left side of the building (which is largely empty). However he was twisting and turning so I did not dare go that way. Next option was to walk all the way around and approach from the other way. And I made it! Had to jump and climb a bit but there I was! The actual point appeared to be 2 meters into the semi-underground parking lot so I jumped in and walked around a bit to make sure I reached the spot. GPS reception was no good so took a picture outside telling me to go yet another 2 meters. Then I made a chalk mark at the approximate location.

Now I had to get back again. The same guard was still ambling about but I could sort of sneak out behind his back. Phew!

Tracklog

Sorry, no tracklog.
