Location

Ackerdijkse plassen nature reserve in Oude Leede.

Participants

Expedition

After my failed expedition earlier today I decided to also go for this one, a bit nearer to home. I got on my bike around 17:30, hoping to get there before dark. The sun had pretty much set by the time I reached the nature reserve, so I had to hurry up as it officially closes at sunset. Alas, it was no use anyway: most of the reserve is a no-go area to protect the birds and other animals living there, so again I could not reach the hash. With the sun gone, there was not much left to see so I got back on my bike and went home again.

Photos

No, that's not the sun setting. These are the bright lights used in greenhouses to stimulate plant growth outside daylight hours.
200 metres to go. Failed again!
