Location

On a path next to a field in Bergschenhoek, South Holland province, the Netherlands.

Participants

Expedition

Today there was finally a hash within a one-hour bike ride from my home. The weather wasn't great, with drizzle in the early morning and rather strong winds. But the rain stopped around the time I had planned to leave, and as it turned out, I had those winds in my back as I rode towards the hash reaching it in about an hour. Once there I took the obligatory pictures, with my phone because somehow my camera's battery had become empty. I then turned around and rode back home, taking about one hour and ten minutes since I now had a strong headwind. This also meant that I was overtaken a few times by senior citizens on electrically-assisted bikes since they obviously have less of a problem with headwinds...

Photos

A roundabout in Pijnacker, with an artwork in the centre and typical local architecture behind.
Near the centre of Bergschenhoek there was a detour due to roadworks. This sign tells you it will take an extra three minutes and burn another 30 kcal.
"You're almost there"
Quite near the hash there was this little hill with a watchtower.
The hash road. About 200 metres to go.
Made it.
Lloyd celebrating.
My bike at the hash, looking south towards a blue sky.
Looking north, towards grey clouds.
A pond next to the road, with lots of water plants and a grey heron looking for fish.
