Location

A residential area in Baarn.

Participants

Expedition

Today looked like a nice day to hash. The weather was nice, and today's location was in a residential area of the city of Baarn. I thought it would be interesting to visit a hash in a built-up area for a change, since I usually hash in forests and fields. So off to Baarn I went and found the location pretty quickly. It was located in a park-like area between two rows of houses. I took a few pictures and then explored the area a bit. About 1 km to the south there was a monument to the 1815 Battle of Quatre Bras, in which the British-Dutch-Prussian alliance managed to defeat the French near Brussels, paving the way to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.

Photos

The hash is somewhere in the hedge up ahead.
Somewhere around where I'm standing right now, that is.
A bit tricky to get a low enough reading, but this should qualify...
