Location

Neptunusstraat, in front of number 3, Scheveningen, The Hague, South Holland province.

Participants

Expedition

This hash was located in Scheveningen, a seaside town that is part of The Hague. The point was just outside someone's house, across from the Scheveningen Museum (which is pretty nice, I would have visited it if it hadn't been closed because of the lockdown). The weather was good and I needed to get some exercise so I decided to ride my bike. I rode across Delft, through Rijswijk and then all the way through The Hague to end up at Neptunusstraat. Once there it started to drizzle a bit. Across the street from the hash there were some people apparently moving into a new apartment. I approached the hashpoint, reached zero distance on the GPS and quickly took some pictures because the rain was getting stronger. I then rode on towards the beach and along the boulevard. It was incredibly crowded, much busier than you would normally expect on a cold January day. I turned around and rode home again.

Photos

The sun is shining as we ride through Rijswijk.
The Scheveningen Museum (named "Muzee", with "zee" meaning "sea")
Another view. It's an old school building I think.
A view towards Neptunusstraat. The hash is near the old lamppost.
Reached it!
Lloyd and Toettoet celebrating (briefly, because they were getting wet).
The grand Kurhaus hotel, just around the corner.
A view of the pier, with ferris wheel and bungy jump tower.
