Next to the Botlek bridge in Hoogvliet, municipality of Rotterdam.

Participants

Kat the Awesome

Expedition

Today's point was reasonably close by, so Kat and I decided to go there around noon. We drove the hashmobile to Hoogvliet and parked in a car park on the edge of town. We then walked through a forest/park towards the point. It was located on the edge of the water, but it wasn't clear from satellite images whether it would be reachable. Turns out, it wasn't. Oh well. Kat and I then walked around a bit more and drove on to Barendrecht, where we had lunch at IKEA.

Photos

The path through the park. For some reason the path isn't straight.
The magnificent Botlek bridge, which is helpfully labelled at the top.
After crossing below it, we find this field.
The hash is right on the edge of the water. I walked as far as I could without getting my feet wet.
Alas, no luck.
Lloyd and Templeton looking at the hash.
