Plans

Drive towards the hash and find out if it's accessible.

Expedition

The hash appeared to be very close to the Dutch-Belgian border. Although it was located on Dutch territory (belonging to the village of Overslag), it was really only accessible through a Belgian road (in the town of Moerbeke). After parking my car by the side of the road I walked the last 250 metres to the hash, next to a small lake that seemed to be a popular fishing spot (with Belgians, because the lake was in Belgium). The hash turned out to be located inside a (Dutch) reed bed, so the last 50 metres were quite difficult to walk. With the ground below me becoming wetter and wetter I was afraid I'd end up with the My Kingdom for a Boat prize again, but luckily the final location was still on terra firma.

Although the hash was located in the Netherlands, it was really only accessible from Belgium, so I did have to cross a border to reach it. In fact, I must have crossed the border several times while walking around in the area, so I guess I should have earned the Border Geohash with this one. Just to give it a bit more weight, I've included several pictures of the actual border :-)
