Location

In the paleispark Het Loo.

Participants

Plans

coyotebush

Maybe visit before catching an IC train to Germany.

MyrtleGlacy

Pointed out the interesting location, saw coyotebush's experience.

Expedition

coyotebush

I started my day's travels an hour early, giving me that much time in Apeldoorn - hopefully enough to bike to the hash and back plus grab some food. From the station I biked north, avoiding pedestrian areas Garmin suggested but failing to avoid bumpy brick roads. Google Maps made it look like I could navigate up the road just west of the point, so I entered that way, after also seeing a closed bike path and missing the east parking lot entrance. The road was narrow for two-way traffic, and soon it was clear that nothing actually intersected it from the east. So I walked into the forest, finding plenty of blackberry vines in the undergrowth. Unfortunately, before I reached the point, a fence topped with barbed wire appeared.

I shared these findings with MyrtleGlacy then started to retrace my route, watching the fence through the trees. When I saw other cyclists using the bike entrance to the parking lot, I decided to follow and see if there was an entrance. There was a map posted which clearly showed the fence to the west and south of the point. It was also very clear that entry with a bicycle was forbidden, though I didn't notice that a fee would have also been required. Walking 1km each way would have made me very late to 52 8, so I headed back to the station. This was much easier to navigate via wayfinding signs. Even had a few minutes to buy a prepackaged wrap before catching the IC train.

MyrtleGlacy

Sent an e-mail to office of the palace to check whether the park was open. Got on the train when they told me it was. Bought a 2 euro ticket. Walked onto a path that wasn't a path, and got the hash. More info to come.
