Location

In a field close to a road near Vorden, seems reachable based on google maps.

Participants

Eupeodes

Plans

Again a new graticule, public transport card still valid so reachable with train, bike and foot. And some caches within a few kilometers as well.

Expedition

Left home with the folding bike and went to Ede, from there I wanted to take the train to Vorden and cycle the last part. When I arrived in Zutphen there was no train-service possible to Vorden because of a broken train. I could have left at that point and take the Train wreck consolation prize, but I decided I still wanted to reach the hash. So I took the bus to Vorden and started cycling. On my way (at ~700 meters from the hash) I got distracted by some cute calves which almost caused me to totally forget about the hash. After this encounter I managed to get myself to the hash, the fence to the field was open so I could walk into the field and take some pictures easily.

I also had some caches in the region which I wanted to log, reached GC2GE7P and GC2XH1W. After this it started to rain, got thoroughly wet, but since this was after reaching the hash it can't count for a Drowned Rat. I decided to stop at this point and get back home.

Pictures will be added later.

Is it true that Eupeodes earned the Train wreck consolation prize?
In principle, yes.
But when there was no train service because of a broke train he found another way to reach the hash (2012-07-09 52 6).
