Today's hash in 51,4  was in the middle of a farmer's field. Normally such places are out of bounds, but this time the point was right next to a public footpath called ''Voddijkpad''. This is actually a very old footpath, dating to the mid-twelfth century, linking the villages of Schipluiden and 't Woudt. It was mainly in use as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_path mass path] (a footpath in rural areas that locals used to walk to church), so it was kind of appropriate to go there on a Sunday morning. I rode my bike to the beginning of the path, then walked along it for about 200 metres. I found the point quite easily and took a few photos. It then started to rain, so I walked back to my bike and rode home again.

Expedition

Today's hash in 51,4 was in the middle of a farmer's field. Normally such places are out of bounds, but this time the point was right next to a public footpath called Voddijkpad. This is actually a very old footpath, dating to the mid-twelfth century, linking the villages of Schipluiden and 't Woudt. It was mainly in use as a mass path (a footpath in rural areas that locals used to walk to church), so it was kind of appropriate to go there on a Sunday morning. I rode my bike to the beginning of the path, then walked along it for about 200 metres. I found the point quite easily and took a few photos. It then started to rain, so I walked back to my bike and rode home again.
