Location

Near some sports fields in Rijswijk, ZH.

Participants

Plans

This hash came up nearby and it appeared to be reachable. So I planned go by bike after work.

Expedition

The weather was nice (sunny, 20 °C), and I set off around 16:45. The location was pretty easy to reach, in the city of Rijswijk (between The Hague and Delft), wedged between a residential area and a couple of sports fields. When I reached the location however, I discovered that there was a ditch between the fields, and the hash turned out to be right in the middle! OpenStreetMap didn't show any water there, and it wasn't visible on satellite view either. As the bank was very steep and overgrown with weeds, I didn't dare to venture near the edge like I did on 2015-10-09 52 4. My Kingdom for a Boat! (though I guess a pair of Wellingtons would do, too)

Photos

My bike near the hash.
Lloyd looking at the ditch.
Close, but not close enough!

Achievements

FelixTheCat (talk) earned the My kingdom for a boat consolation prize

by being prevented from reaching the (52, 4) geohash on 2016-05-26 by an impassable and unforeseen ditch.
