Plans
Judging from Google Maps, the hash appeared to be in water. But it was close to home and easy to get to, so I thought I'd try it and see how close I could get.
Expedition
Got on my bike and rode towards the hash. It was located right at the edge of a pond/stream behind some glasshouses (where they grow cucumbers, tomatoes and apparently also grapes; who knew?). I walked as close to the water as I dared (tricky because the edge wasn't very sturdy), and I did manage to get within the margin of error of my GPS. Took a few pictures and rode home again.

These signs show the water level through the ages (with an offset to prevent them from having to dig below the current ground level). Currently we're about 1.5 - 2 metres below sea level.
