Expedition

Today was mouseover day, so a very good day for an expedition. Unfortunately I completely forgot about Towel Day and therefore set off without the obligatory towel...

The hash was located in a grassy field in a recreational area on the outskirts of Amsterdam. I took a train to Haarlem and changed onto the Sprinter service to the north, getting off at Driehuis. There I rented a bike and rode to the destination. Once there it was easy to find the spot, since it was a wide open area with good GPS reception. I hung around for a while, taking pictures of the surroundings and experimenting with the zoom function on my camera to snap pictures of passing airplanes. Then I got back on the bike and explored the area a bit more, before riding on to visit the town of IJmuiden. There I visited the museum and watched the ships arriving and leaving the port.

Photos

  • The train from Delft to Haarlem.

  • After changing in Haarlem, I got off at Driehuis (very small rural train station).

  • The OV-fiets system here is a bit different to what I've used before: the bikes are stored in large lockers, with a card-reading terminal in one of them. Swipe your card, press "Yes" to rent a bike, and one of the lockers is unlocked.

  • Quite a neat system, actually.

  • After about 15 minutes of cycling I reached the recreational area and parked the bike.

  • The hash field. According to the little sign, this is a "daytime campground, closing at sunset". Doesn't that defeat the whole idea of camping?

  • The hash is right here.

  • Nice zero distance at 2m accuracy.

  • Lloyd and Toettoet celebrating.

  • A pretty sharp picture I managed to take of a KLM 777 taking off from Schiphol. Note the condensation over the wing.

  • I climbed up this hill to get a nice view of the surrounding area. A hill in Holland, I hear you ask? Yes, it's an artificial one made from a former rubbish dump.

  • Another weird bit of landscaping, with lumps of debris from demolitions and two huge discs of concrete.
