Expedition

Today's hash was located in a park in the old city of Alkmaar. This park was less than 500 metres from the train station, so I decided to travel there by train after work. I first took the Amsterdam Metro to Sloterdijk train station, then got on the Intercity service to Alkmaar. All of this took about 45 minutes. Once in Alkmaar I walked to the park, which was quite a nice place, but completely deserted on a grey weekday evening around dinner time. The hash was right next to a kind of teepee-like structure made from branches. I took a few pictures and then went back to the train station. The ride back home took about an hour and a half, mainly because there are not many fast trains in this semi-rural part of the country.

A very typical Dutch scene with a windmill draining a polder.
The park, with a football pitch, a small amphitheatre and much more. The hash is behind all this.
The far end of the park, with wooden contraptions for climbing on and what looks like a hobbit house right in front.

Reached it!
