Today's hash was in a vacant lot in a business park on the outskirts of Tiel. I decided to take the train there and then rent a bike to cover the final stretch. Although Tiel is a medium-sized provincial city, it's pretty inconvenient to reach by public transport: it's located quite far from major cities, and its train station is only serviced by slow local trains. I took the Intercity service from Delft to Rotterdam and from then to Utrecht. In Utrecht I changed onto the local train. When we finally reached Tiel station, all the way at the end of the line, I got off and rented a bike. The business park was just a ten-minute ride away. Once I got close to the point, I found out that the empty lot had since been converted into a truck maintenance yard. Heavy vehicles were driving in and out all the time, and I felt rather uncomfortable even riding my bike on the street. It didn't seem wise to randomly stroll onto the area, so I declared this one a failure and went on my way again.

Expedition

Today's hash was in a vacant lot in a business park on the outskirts of Tiel. I decided to take the train there and then rent a bike to cover the final stretch. Although Tiel is a medium-sized provincial city, it's pretty inconvenient to reach by public transport: it's located quite far from major cities, and its train station is only serviced by slow local trains. I took the Intercity service from Delft to Rotterdam and from then to Utrecht. In Utrecht I changed onto the local train. When we finally reached Tiel station, all the way at the end of the line, I got off and rented a bike. The business park was just a ten-minute ride away. Once I got close to the point, I found out that the empty lot had since been converted into a truck maintenance yard. Heavy vehicles were driving in and out all the time, and I felt rather uncomfortable even riding my bike on the street. It didn't seem wise to randomly stroll onto the area, so I declared this one a failure and went on my way again.
