Expedition

I decided to try this hash, though I wasn't sure it would be accessible. Turns out it wasn't: there's a small ditch around the field along with a wire fence. It looks like some sheep are living there. Took some pictures and then went museum-hopping. First to Museum GeoFort in Herwijnen, which is about earth science and cartography, so actually somewhat relevant to geohashing. Recommended if you're in the area! Then I went to the Glass Museum in Leerdam (which used to be the centre of the glass industry), and finally to Gorcums Museum in Gorinchem (nice little local museum).
