Location

Vlaardingen, South Holland Province, The Netherlands

Participants

Expedition

Today was another warm and sunny day. I decided to get on my bike and have a nice ride towards Vlaardingen to find today's geohash. I rode south, along bike paths I had ridden countless times before, and turned southwest to go into Vlaardingen. I don't think I've really been to this town before. It's not a very interesting place, mainly a bunch of low to medium quality residential areas serving as a bedroom town for Rotterdam. There was however one noticeable place: a city park had been temporarily converted into a dinosaur park based on the Jurassic World franchise. Loads of families with small children were taking pictures with roaring dinosaur robots and digging up bones from a sand pit. Anyway, I rode on and reached the hash on a footpath next to another park. I took some pictures and then rode home again.

Photos

Riding south from Delft.
The dinosaur park.
The footpath, bike path and park near the hash. The point is up ahead in the shade. Note how the grass isn't coping well with several weeks of burning sunshine and no rain.
Made it!

Another view.
Yet another view.
One more.
A view of the hashpark, with a photo of a group of locals (?).
