Expedition

Today's hashpoint was located in Castricum. I drove the hashmobile there and parked just a few metres away from the point. The point itself was right next to some bushes, but as I was searching for it, a massive downpour occurred and I hurried back to the car to avoid getting soaked. Once it had stopped raining I got back out again and found the point. After taking the required pictures I explored the town a bit more and visited its archaeological museum. Then I drove on to the next-door town of Beverwijk to have a look at its Bazaar, a huge covered market that I had never been to before.
