The past few months have not yielded any doable geohashes around here, so I was happy to see that today's was in a well-accessible spot in a forest. I left home around 08:30 and arrived at a small car park at the forest's entrance about an hour later. The forest is officially a military training area, but no-one was there on a Saturday morning in August. I walked through the forest for about 10 minutes and found the hash just a little off the footpath. After taking the required pictures I further explored the forest and the surrounding area. Afterwards I visited a museum in Bunnik about the New Dutch Water Line, which was recently added to the World Heritage List. After that I went home again.

Unaware of FelixTheCat's plans, I also visited the geohash. I was already planning a cycling trip anyway, so it seemed a short detour to visit the hash. I cycled to Den Dolder and then through De Paltz, which is apparently open for cyclists during the day. I locked my bike to a tree in the car park and went towards the hash at around 16:30. It took a bit of time to find the right place (I think there are some inconsistencies with foot paths on OSM), but eventually I found it. Just like in the morning, late on a Saturday afternoon there was no-one else around either. On the way back, I think I may have spotted a fox?
