Today's hash was in De Lier, a town in the Westland region. This area is well-known for its greenhouses, which are used to grow things like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The hash was right next to a greenhouse, at least according to Google Maps. I decided to go there after work, requiring a reasonable detour from my normal commute. The weather was nice; it had finally cooled off to about 25 °C after a record-breaking heatwave. I rode along a pretty green landscape for about half an hour until I reached the hash. It turned out that the greenhouse at this site had been demolished. I took a few pictures and then went home.

Expedition

Today's hash was in De Lier, a town in the Westland region. This area is well-known for its greenhouses, which are used to grow things like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The hash was right next to a greenhouse, at least according to Google Maps. I decided to go there after work, requiring a reasonable detour from my normal commute. The weather was nice; it had finally cooled off to about 25 °C after a record-breaking heatwave. I rode along a pretty green landscape for about half an hour until I reached the hash. It turned out that the greenhouse at this site had been demolished. I took a few pictures and then went home.
