Zevenbergen, Noord Brabant. It looks accessible enough on Google maps.

Plans
Tchakkazulu is currently on the train from Utrecht to Rotterdam. He'll then take a train to Zevenbergen, hop out, hopefully visit the hash, take some crappy pictures, and continue his journey to the south.
Expedition
I was planning to go to Roosendaal anyway, so it was a nice surprise to see a hash near Zevenbergen. Sadly, it didn't work out at all the way I had hoped. There was some railway work planned near Dordrecht, so from Rotterdam, I had to take a train to Zwijndrecht, then a bus to Lage Zwaluwe, then continue by train to Zevenbergen.
When there, the walk to the hash was fairly simple. There is a nice walking path around the water that Google maps displays, but OSM doesn't know about, so I enabled tracking on my GPS device, and I'll add the info to that later. Took some pictures of the water, the grass, and the trees, and then went back to the train station.

Nice grassy area.
Bridge across the water, into residential area.
View from the bridge, mostly blocked by willows.
