After work. Almere isn't too far from my usual route home.
Expedition
So... OpenStreetMap lied to me. Google Maps lied to me, but not quite as badly as OSM. Bing maps... Okay, I didn't check Bing beforehand, but looking at it now shows that it's also outdated.
In short: the area is under some serious construction. If you look at the map on OSM, the Marinaweg has been moved a bit (Google Maps' non-satellite view has it right), and hence can't be used to reach the Muiderzandpad. I tried approaching it from the other side, the IJmeerdijk, but the path to the Muiderzandpad has been blocked by fences and construction machinery.
As a last attempt, I tried the Poortdreef. No luck from there either. What on the satellite view looks like an open field with some sparse greenery on the edge, is now densely populated by trees and bushes. I didn't feel like bushwhacking, so that was all I could do to reach it.
To add insult to injury, my phone-no-wait-camera ran out of juice earlier today, so I couldn't even take pictures.
Tracklog
