Location

In a forest near the village of Schoonloo.

Participants

Elwingelfje and
Styxxi

Plans

Drive there by car, have a look around, go back.

Expedition

Elwingelfje

The weather was excellent! We had a free Sunday afternoon and decided to go for this geohash (which happened to be in an area my roommate knows quite well).

We used a different route both ways, but as we got out of the car and walked a while it doesn't qualify for a Tron achievement. The forest was really nice: leafy, cool and with lots of variation in trees and coverage. The hash was extremely easy to find and reach. The forest in this spot was mercifully free of undergrowth. We saw a rabbit hopping away from the hash as we neared it. Elwingelfje hugged a tree and wrote a postcard; then we went on our merry way. We mailed the postcard from Schoonloo and then drove back.

Styxxi

Why; hello! This is my first foray as a geohasher. I don't have much to add to the resume above, except that I confirm receival of the hashcard, and hereby grant elwingelfje the title of hashcarder. Hear Hear.

Photos

Prepared hashcard
Information panel at the spot where we parked the car
Riding school next to the forest section with the hash in it (it's called "Horsegreen" in the local accent for some reason)
View towards hashpoint looks promising...
... and reached!
also reached with more zoom
Not really sure if I should supply people with such pictures of me ... drat, already done it.
Aftermath: mailing the postcard written at the hashpoint.
After-aftermath: scan of the hashcard. Shows 1) the appropriate area (not all of the pictures, but the one of the forest is actually taken quite near the hashpoint); 2) mailed to another postcrosser; 3) mailed immediately after the expedition. Note the thematically-correct stamp :)
