Interesting hash on a forest road near Arnhem

Participants

Expedition 1

Looking at the hashes for the weekend, I saw this pretty little hash in a forest near Arnhem. Perfect for an expedition and a long walk afterwards.

I got on the train in Tilburg with my girlfriend and had a direct connection to Arnhem. My girlfriend had other things to do beside hashing. I know, weird right. So she left the train at Oss. I exited at Arnhem and after a short drink and muesli bar break, went on my way. The first bit had a slight incline. Nothing major, the biggest height difference between start and finish would 80m. But for the Netherlands, that almost like climbing up Everest.

Anyways, it was quite a pleasant walk to the hash. After leaving Arnhem, it was a forested area with some fields in between. Along my path, there were many blackberry bushes loaded with blackberries, so I definitely took my time to grab some once in a while.

Reaching the hash was easy. It was about 2 meters off a forest path among some plants. Grabbed my screenshot and went on.

As it was a beautiful day, I continued on to first Oosterbeek and then Wolfheze. This entire area was new for me, so it was nice to see what was around me. There was an option to visit some Trappists along the path, but by then my girlfriend was on my way to Arnhem and I wanted to meet up with her.

On the final stretch to the Wolfheze train station, I had to go under the train tracks. To do so, I had to go through de Duiker (the Diver), a tiny tunnel about 1.50m at it’s highest. I had to almost crouch to get through, but luckily there was a lack of spiders and other things that might have made this tunnel way more unpleasant.

Reaching the Wolfheze train station, I considered my expedition finished, as I was going back to Arnhem for shopping and dining and it felt like the geohashing part of the day was over.
