Expedition

I drove towards Putten in the morning and parked the hashmobile in a small car park in the forest. I then walked towards the hash. When I got near, I found that the last path I was planning to take was blocked by a fallen tree. It looked like it was placed there deliberately, so I assumed this path was closed for some reason. No matter, there was another path a bit futher on. That one was similarly blocked, requiring a slightly longer detour. Finally, just when I thought I had found a direct path that would bring me to the point, I ran into a locked fence with a "no entry" sign. Disappointed yet again, I walked around a bit more and found the centre of gravity of the Netherlands. Then I went back to the hashmobile and did some more sightseeing in the wider area.

• 

  Today's forest is called "Speulder- en Sprielderbos".

• 

  It's a nice forest. The weather is also rather pleasant.

• 

  I was planning to take this path, but it's kind of blocked.

• 

  This one then? Nope.

• 

  How about this? "Quiet area for wildlife. No entry"

• 

  We're 511 metres away at this point.

  Lloyd and Lleroy are disappointed.

• 

  The closest we got was 148 metres.

  About 2 km away is the centre of gravity of the Netherlands. Simply hook up your giant crane to this loop to lift up the entire country without spilling anyting.
