Location

Somewhere in Beningerslikken Nature Reserve, south of Zuidland.

Participants

Plans

Bike there and see if the hash is accessible.

Expedition

Today was Ascension Day, which is a national holiday in this country, so I figured it was a good day to go for a nice long bike ride. Today's hash was about 35 km from my house, and the weather was nice. I wasn't sure if the hash would be accessible, because the whole area looked like some construction project on Google Maps.

I left Delft heading South. Riding about 10 km through the polders I reached Schiedam, and used the Benelux Tunnel to cross the Nieuwe Maas. Reaching Pernis with all its petrochemical equipment, I headed West towards Spijkenisse, then turned South towards Zuidland. Passing this village, there was only farmland left for the rest of the island, until I reached the Beningerslikken Nature Reserve. Having parked my bike at the entrance I walked the last part towards the hash. Unfortunately, the point itself was not reachable because it was in the middle of a very wet area, and it's prohibited to venture outside the footpaths. Still, it was a very nice trip through some very pretty places.

This was also the last trip I'm likely to ever make on my beloved Silver Giant, because it was sadly stolen later that evening in Delft ;-(
