Plans
Trevil
Im not sure yet, but maybe i'll take a drive and try to reach this hash.
FelixTheCat
I'm planning to take the train to Etten-Leur, then rent a bike and ride to the hash.
Expedition
FelixTheCat
It was Geohashing Day, so of course I had to go on an expedition. This point looked pretty accessible and was within reasonable distance. My original idea was to take the train to Etten-Leur station and rent a bike there. The trip from Delft would normally take a little less than an hour, but unfortunately all intercity trains had been cancelled on the Delft-Rotterdam-Breda line due to an earlier accident. This meant I had to take two slower trains, and upon arriving in Breda I discovered I would have to wait for about half an hour to catch the final eight-minute ride to Etten-Leur. I decided to rent a bike in Breda and just cycle the remaining bit instead.
The weather was nice and the ride went pretty smoothly. The point was on the edge of a small path called Rioolseweg, which translates more or less to "sewer road". There was no sewage to be found, but there was a strong smell of manure, which is to be expected in agricultural areas. I found the point, took the required pictures, and cycled back to Breda. The intercity service still had not been restarted, so I took the slow trains again. The trains were rather crowded and noisy because a large contingent of football fans from somewhere in the south were travelling to see a match in Rotterdam.

My bike for today, at Breda railway station.
It's about 10 km from Breda to Etten-Leur, but it's an easy trip thanks to the excellent bike paths here.
We've arrived in the hash city.
The hash is about one kilometre ahead.
The path becomes curvy for some reason.
The point is next to this tree, almost in the ditch. The edge is rather steep so it's tricky to fully stand on the point.
But we made it!
Lloyd and Templeton celebrating.
Looking south, down the path we just came from.
This is the field next to the hash. Apparently they're growing lovage here, a type of vegetable.
