Geohash reached. Full report will be written later.
 
Simply said : jump on your bike, decide that you really should turn left here, hop over the fence (no farmer in sight!) and walk there. Life was easy. Freeze_XJ screwed his Tron-attempt early on, but since Antior tried to make it, the ride back was a little longer. Bunnik is really a nice town, i think :P

Location

In a piece of farmland just south of a highway near Bunnik


Participants

Plans

We'll go there by bike after dinner. A Tron hash might be possible for Antior. We don't have a GPS device available so we'll have to do that the old way. Printed a small map + Google-Earth overview, and that was about it.

After deciding this occasion was too good to let slip, we left the univ we were supposed to work, and headed out for dinner. Yep, that's right. Food comes first, hashing can wait. Once our stomachs were satisfied, we took our bikes, made a small detour (TRON award), and headed south. After passing the locally famous pancake restaurant (hey, we knew what we were doing when grabbing dinner back there), the local youth hostel, and a very busy road, we managed to get across the highway, and continued our trip. Finding the field wasn't hard, waving at the nearby traffic jam was even easier, and more fun :) The next part was deciding whether to cross the fence or not. Since nothing forbade trespassing, we went for it, scaring a bunny (see picture) in the process. The actual #. was nice and green in the evening light, so after the obligatory pictures, we left Bugs to his own devices. Travelling along the highway, we made it to the town/village/collection of houses of Bunnik, and headed back home. Since the maps indicated a nice little road where there was none, Antior almost screwed his TRON, and had to stick to the right side of the road ;)
