Today's hash was in a forest near the beach of The Hague. I wasn't sure if it would be accessible, since neither Google Maps nor OpenStreetMap showed any paths leading towards it, and there were several buildings nearby which could mean that the forest was private property. Nevertheless, I wanted to give it a try, since it was within easy cycling distance. As I rode along the main road towards the hash, I suddenly saw an entrance into the forest, with a footpath leading directly towards the hash! Could this be my lucky day? I parked my bike and started walking. The hash was just 350 metres ahead, and we were going in the right direction. It started to look like we might pull this off, but alas! With just 26 metres to go we ran into a fence with a clear "no entry" sign on it.

Expedition

Today's hash was in a forest near the beach of The Hague. I wasn't sure if it would be accessible, since neither Google Maps nor OpenStreetMap showed any paths leading towards it, and there were several buildings nearby which could mean that the forest was private property. Nevertheless, I wanted to give it a try, since it was within easy cycling distance. As I rode along the main road towards the hash, I suddenly saw an entrance into the forest, with a footpath leading directly towards the hash! Could this be my lucky day? I parked my bike and started walking. The hash was just 350 metres ahead, and we were going in the right direction. It started to look like we might pull this off, but alas! With just 26 metres to go we ran into a fence with a clear "no entry" sign on it.

Later, I added the path I discovered to OpenStreetMap and earned the ribbon.

Photos

  • The entrance to the forest.

  • The path leading towards the hash.

  • The fence blocking our way.

  • Just 26 metres to go....

  • Lloyd is disappointed.
