Location

On heathland near Nunspeet, Gelderland province.

Participants

Expedition

Today's hash was on heathland, near Nunspeet on the northern edge of the Veluwe area. The Veluwe is well-known for its beautiful landscape, so I decided to drive all the way to Nunspeet and then walk to the hash. The nearest car park was more than 2 km away, so I had to walk for about twenty minutes to reach the point. Luckily, the weather was fine; it had been raining earlier, but right now it was just cloudy. My walk started in a forest, but the trees quickly gave way to reveal a desert-like landscape of sand dunes. After feeling like Felix of Arabia for a few minutes, the surroundings changed again to a vast heathland. It was quite refreshing to be in a wide open area nearly devoid of human activity, in such a crowded little country like the Netherlands. I found the hashpoint about 30 metres off a footpath, so I treaded carefully so as not to damage any vegetation. I took pictures and then walked around some more. After returning to the hashmobile I made my way to the town of Nunspeet to have lunch and visit the local museum.

After the trees come the sand dunes.
Autumn means mushrooms everywhere. Not sure what type this is though.

The hash is straight ahead, behind this decomposing tree.
Right here!
GPS proof.

A view from the hash. Heath and low shrubs everywhere.
Reindeer moss (probably Cladonia portentosa) grows here too.
