Location

The hashpoint was on (the side of?) a small road (Waterlinie) very near exit 8 of motorway A9, only about 27km from Palmpje's house. The exit is the one to take to visit the Bazaar, a huge indoor market in Beverwijk. Obvisouly there will not be many people now because of Covid-19 restrictions.

Participants

Palmpje

Plans

Drive there and first find a bunch of geocaches in a park at the other side of the motorway. Then make sure to be at the hashpoint at hash-o-clock. At the hashpoint itself the car can be parked on the side of the road, so easy access.

Expedition

All went as planned and Palmpje was at the hashpoint at 15:45-ish. First he found the exact spot, managing a very satisfying 0m on his GPSr. Yeah! Some twigs where found lying around and used to spell XKCD on the grass / mud at the side of the road. Then pictures where taken, including one with a tower (of course). Palmpje then waited until 16:00 but nobody else arrived. So a short trip was made to find a Letterbox cache about 200m away. This cache was placed by a former colleague of Palmpje - but both of us are no longer working at that particular company. Returning to the car, nobody else was there so Palmpje departed and went to find a few more geocaches.
