Expedition

Kat and I were visiting family in Rotterdam, who happened to live within one kilometre of today's hashpoint. The point was on a school playground with a fence around it, so we were expecting to get a No Trespassing consolation prize. However, the school turned out to have closed a while ago and the building appeared to be under temporary rental. This is commonly done for buildings that are about to be demolished or thoroughly renovated, in order to prevent them from being vandalised or occupied by squatters. In any case, the fence was open and there were no signs forbidding entry, so we walked to the hashpoint on the playground and took some photos. Afterwards we bought some flowers in a nearby supermarket and went on our visit.

Approaching the school building from behind. The building next door was recently demolished and the area is being redeveloped.
The fence is open. The building on the right is used for temporary housing, while the gym seems to be in use by a martial-arts school.
There are several play areas on the playground. The point is between the football field and the pingpong table.
Made it!
Lloyd celebrating.
This work of art has seen better days.
The ping pong table looks remarkably clean and new compared to its surroundings.
The football pitch, next to the gym. There's also lots of sand on the ground.
