Expedition

I was determined to finally reach a point again after two unexpected failures. Since today's seemed to be in a public park in Eindhoven, my chances were looking good. I took the train from Delft to Eindhoven, planning to rent a bike at the station and ride to the hash. Unfortunately, all bikes were rented out already, so I had to take a bus instead. This turned out to be a good choice, because a huge downpour occurred just a few minutes after we left the station. Luckily, it had stopped raining again when we reached the Meerrijk bus stop. I walked to the park and found that the hash field had been turned into a public cricket field. Cricket isn't a particularly popular sport here; I found out later that a group of expats living nearby took the initiative to establish this facility. The field was still fully open to the public however, so it was easy to get to the hashpoint. After logging the point I walked through the park a bit more and climbed a hill to look at airplanes taking off from Eindhoven Airport. As I walked back to the bus stop I heard a thundering noise and looked back, just in time to spot an F-35 flying off into the clouds.
