Today's hash seemed to be in a park in Halsteren, which is a town right next to Bergen op Zoom, the main settlement in western Brabant. I took the hashmobile there and parked behind the swimming pool. The point was on a field that seemed to have had some kind of vegetation there that had recently been cut down. I'm not sure what it was; maybe it was just overgrown with weeds. The point was easy to find, and I reached zero distance on the GPS almost right away. The weather was nice: cool, but sunny and dry. There were lots of people walking their dogs in the park; I think I was the only one without a dog, and I was definitely the only one with a horse and a rat.

Expedition

Today's hash seemed to be in a park in Halsteren, which is a town right next to Bergen op Zoom, the main settlement in western Brabant. I took the hashmobile there and parked behind the swimming pool. The point was on a field that seemed to have had some kind of vegetation there that had recently been cut down. I'm not sure what it was; maybe it was just overgrown with weeds. The point was easy to find, and I reached zero distance on the GPS almost right away. The weather was nice: cool, but sunny and dry. There were lots of people walking their dogs in the park; I think I was the only one without a dog, and I was definitely the only one with a horse and a rat.

After taking some pictures I walked around the park a bit more. Then I went to have a look at nearby Fort de Roovere and its world-famous Moses Bridge. There were quite a few people with fancy cameras walking around the fort; I think they belonged to a photography club. Afterwards I went for a drive along the Oesterdam (part of the Delta Works), then toured the island of Tholen and visited the local museum in Sint Annaland.
