Location

De Lier, Zuid-Holland province.

Participants

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.

Photos

Riding through the polders north of Rotterdam ("Dam on the river Rotte").
Approaching the villages of Zouteveen ("Salt Bog") and Negenhuizen ("Nine Houses").
The hash street in De Lier ("The Lyre" or "The Winch"). There used to be a greenhouse on the grassy field on the centre-right.
My bike at the hash.
GPS proof.

Waving at the horses across the street.
