Plans
Grab an OV-bike at the station and go there. Satellite pictures suggest that there might be a fence around the field, but you never know.
Expedition
A beautiful hash. In a field of grass, about a 10 minutes bike ride from a train station and nothing else to do that evening. On google maps, there were some shadows that might indicate a fence. Around the possible fence, a path. But still not completely sure whether the hash itself would be reachable or not. I left work and got on the train to ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Grabbed an OV-bike and rode to the hash in somewhat the right direction. I lived in ‘s-Hertogenbosch for 21 years, so I refused to navigate with my phone until I got close to the hash in an area that I don’t know. After crossing the last major road, the path got a lot darker and more surrounded by green. There were a couple of farms to the left and right, giving almost the feel of a tiny little village separate from ‘s-Hertogenbosch itself. I left my bike on the side of the road when I had almost reached the hash… en immediately saw the fence that was real and still in place. I walked as close to the hash as I could, about 50m away. The fence was barbed wire and in good condition. In an attempt to circumvent the fence, I tried to find a gate that may be open. As there was nothing in the field, I would not have felt bad about going in. Sadly, the gate was closed and also mostly barbed wire. No way of getting to the hash in an proper way sadly. The area around it was pretty cool, so I might come back here at some point for a walk. Perhaps by daylight I would ask the farmer for permission to go in. This far after dark I did not feel comfortable doing so.
