Expedition

Today's hash was on the beach somewhat to the north of Bergen aan Zee. The point appeared to be right on the edge of the beach at low tide, so I checked the tide calendar and found out we should be there at around 12:30. Kat was enthusiastic about taking a long walk on the beach, so we drove to Bergen together. Luckily it was rather cold and cloudy, so the roads towards the coast were not busy. After parking the hashmobile we began to walk. The hash point was about two kilometres away, but it took quite a bit of effort due to a strong headwind. When we got near the point it turned out to be within reach of the waves, and therefore tricky to reach without getting my feet wet. It took several tries of waiting for the water to retreat, running forward towards the point, then running back to safety, before I managed to score zero distance on my GPS.

We then walked around a bit further and finally went back to Bergen on a path through the dunes. We had a small snack in the village (chips and a kroket) before driving home again.
