Location
Haarlemmermeer, in a field about 50m from the road just next to a small ditch (may have to jump it).
Looks a possible, trespassing? Just act if you belong! Always works ;-)
Participants
Palmpje may be there... depends a bit on work (can I take the afternoon off?) and beach weather (should I improve the all-over tan?)
Murfie has also plans. Probably go there around noon.
Plans
Drive out there and see if I can get to the hashpoint. Remember to program GPSr with coordinates, select hashcot!
Expedition
- Palmpje
I decided for lunch on the beach. Then bicycled back home and got the geohashing/caching gear and drove to the hashpoint. Had to be careful as the map shows intersections, bit sometimes one raod just crosses the other as a bridge with no way to take a turn. When I got there I quickly lost hope to reach the hashpoint. Fields were planted right to the edge and the ditch was not really wide but had really steep sides. Also, I was only wearing a pair of slippers on my feet (almost did the hobbit thing but a cornfield is not the place to walk barefoot). Got to 9m from the cache and glad I came. As a consolation I decided to hunt for two geocaches nearby.

Is it true that Palmpje earned the Cliffs of despair consolation prize?
