Location
The hash was located in the city of Rotterdam, on a public square (Piet Paaltjensplein) in the medium-density residential district Spangen.
Participants
Plans
Beautiful day, lovely weather, easily accessible hash, close to home: excellent conditions for a nice and easy bicycle ride.
Expedition
Leaving home at around 5 PM, it was rush hour so there was a lot of traffic. No major hiccups, though, so after about half an hour cycling, I arrived at the identified square.
Before leaving, I only checked the OpenStreetMap view of the situation without looking at any satellite imaging. I expected the square to be free of obstacles, but upon arrival I stumbled across some fenced off shrubberies. After checking the satellite, I determined that the hash was located outside the fenced off areas, so it was accessible.
A lovely historical landmark right on the north side of the square is the Justus van Effencomplex. A social housing project from 1922, the complex was revolutionary in the use of internal logistics, elevated walkways and some centralised facilities. More about that here on Wikipedia if you're interested.
On the way there, I passed through a street where cars an bicycles were mixed, which was annoying during rush hour. So I decided to head back home via a different route. It was only afterwards that I realised I would have gotten the Tron achievement that way, if only I kept a GPS log from the start. Oh well.
Tracklog
No tracklog available.
