No rain was predicted, so I left around 10 AM. There was some fog, but it had mostly cleared. In Driebergen, I made a few stops to capture some Ingress portals.

As I approached the hashpoint, I knew from OpenStreetMap there were two paths leading there. However, OSM had been a bit unclear about which were accessible by bike.

Now I had to enter a different reserve and the sign was different. It was pretty unclear about whether bikes were allowed, so just to be safe I locked up my bike and continued on foot. It was a pretty nice terrain, some orchards and pastures mixed with forest. I sat down for a bit to drink some tea. Then I tried to get as close to the hashpoint as I could, but it turned out to be a pasture with a fence around it. 160 m was the best I could do, so I left. When I drove back, all the fog was gone and it was sunny and warm.

Plans

While I had been following geohashing for a while, none of them showed up close enough for me to be able to get there. A couple of days ago, I promised myself "if one comes within 15 km, I'll go there". And then this one showed up... at 16 km. Well, close enough. As long as it wasn't raining, I'd go there.


Expedition

xnyhps

No rain was predicted, so I left around 10 AM. There was some fog, but it had mostly cleared. In Driebergen, I made a few stops to capture some Ingress portals. As I was leaving Driebergen, the fog was suddenly back. I had to drive for 5 km along a narrow road with cars going 60 km/h and low visibility, this was not a very pleasant.

As I approached the hashpoint, I knew from OpenStreetMap there were two paths leading there. However, OSM had been a bit unclear about which were accessible by bike. Some barriers didn't make it very clear to which path they applied. The first path (Weerdensteijnselaan) didn't forbid cyclists, so I went ahead. It was a rather bumpy ride and at the end I noticed it had shaken loose a part of my bike, but I could continue without it and try to fix it back home.

Now I had to enter a different reserve and the sign was different. It was pretty unclear about whether bikes were allowed, so just to be safe I locked up my bike and continued on foot. It was a pretty nice terrain, some orchards and pastures mixed with forest. I sat down for a bit to drink some tea. Then I tried to get as close to the hashpoint as I could, but it turned out to be a pasture with a fence around it. 160 m was the best I could do, so I left. When I drove back, all the fog was gone and it was sunny and warm.
