On the outskirts of Nootdorp, Zuid-Holland province.

Participants

Expedition

After completing today's expedition in 52 5, there were still a few hours left before dark. So I decided to get on my bike and get some exercise by visiting today's hash in 52 4 as well. It was only about 8 km from my house, and right next to a bike path, so it was pretty straightforward to reach. It was a rather empty part of Nootdorp, actually just some grassy areas between Nootdorp and Zoetermeer. There were a few trees and some greenhouses. There were a few cyclists and the odd jogger. That's about it :-)

But, I did score my first multihash! I think that's quite a feat, since in this part of the world it's not very common that any random geohash is actually accessible (meaning not in water, someone's back yard or a field full of raging bulls), let alone two on the same day within a reasonable distance!

Also, it seems like I was the only one to report an expedition for this day, so I hereby claim the Last Man Standing Award!
