Plans

This hash came up nearby and it appeared to be reachable. So I planned to go by bike after work.

Expedition

The weather was nice (sunny, 20 °C), and I set off around 16:45. The location was pretty easy to reach, in the city of Rijswijk (between The Hague and Delft), wedged between a residential area and a couple of sports fields. When I reached the location however, I discovered that there was a ditch between the fields, and the hash turned out to be right in the middle! OpenStreetMap didn't show any water there, and it wasn't visible on satellite view either. I didn't dare to venture near the edge like I did on 2015-10-09 52 4, because the bank was very steep and overgrown with weeds. My Kingdom for a Boat! Though I guess a pair of Wellingtons would do, too :-)

I later updated OpenStreetMap to include the ditch, and thereby achieved the OpenStreetMap ribbon.
