It was a nice sunny day, and the hash appeared to be in an accessible place not far from my house. I decided to go for a Tron achievement. I left Delft on the eastern side and rode towards Pijnacker, Berkel & Rodenrijs and finally the northern part of Bergschenhoek. The hash was located on the edge of a small playground in a residential area. I took a few pictures and then went on to exit the town on its southern side, headed west towards Berkel & Rodenrijs and planned to approach Delft again from the south. At Berkel Westpolder train station however things almost went wrong. There should have been a cycle path on the western side of the train tracks, but when I arrived there, it was inaccessible due to construction work. I carefully looked around for another way out, but it appeared that the whole western side of the train station was inaccessible from anywhere but the underpass I had just used! Fortunately I had used the bike path inside the underpass, so I could still escape the station by using the footpath. I managed to find another way out of Berkel and finally rode back into Delft through the university campus. Tron route achieved!

Expedition

It was a nice sunny day, and the hash appeared to be in an accessible place not far from my house. I decided to go for a Tron achievement. I left Delft on the eastern side and rode towards Pijnacker, Berkel & Rodenrijs and finally the northern part of Bergschenhoek. The hash was located on the edge of a small playground in a residential area. I took a few pictures and then went on to exit the town on its southern side, headed west towards Berkel & Rodenrijs and planned to approach Delft again from the south. At Berkel Westpolder train station however things almost went wrong. There should have been a cycle path on the western side of the train tracks, but when I arrived there, it was inaccessible due to construction work. I carefully looked around for another way out, but it appeared that the whole western side of the train station was inaccessible from anywhere but the underpass I had just used! Fortunately I had used the bike path inside the underpass, so I could still escape the station by using the footpath. I managed to find another way out of Berkel and finally rode back into Delft through the university campus. Tron route achieved!

  • It's a nice residential neighbourhood.

  • Lloyd posing at the hash.

  • GPS map.
