Expedition
The weather was excellent! We had a free sunday afternoon and decided to go for this geohash (which happened to be in an area my roommate knows quite well).
We used a different route both ways, but as we got out of the car and walked a while it doesn't qualify for a Tron achievement. The forest was really nice: leafy, cool and with lots of variation in trees and coverage. The hash was extremely easy to find and reach. The forest in this spot was mercifully free of undergrowth. We saw a rabbit hopping away from the hash as we neared it. Elwingelfje (talk) hugged a tree and wrote a postcard; then we went on our merry way. We mailed the postcard from Schoonloo and then drove back.

Riding school next to the forest section with the hash in it (it's called "Horsegreen" in the local accent for some reason)
View towards hashpoint looks promising...
... and reached!
also reached with more zoom
Not really sure if I should supply people with such pictures of me ... drat, already done it.
Aftermath: mailing the postcard written at the hashpoint.
