From Schiphol

Schiphol has a good train connection with the rest of the Netherlands. Take a train to Amersfoort, and transfer there to a train to Nijkerk. For more details, see train.

From abroad

Plan your trip to Nijkerk. There are some ways to get to the camp site from abroad. goeuro is an international public transportation planner that can help you.

But if all fails or you want to move around hacker incompatible times such as 7 in the morning, there is a public shuttle service called Connexxion.

From Monday to Friday bus 142 can take you near the terrain every hour from around 07:00 to 18:00. Take bus stop Nulderpad and walk about 500 meters down Nulderpad where you'll obviously see the entrance to SHA (the nerds walking around there might be a hint).

By boat

It is possible to go by boat to SHA-2017. Given the location and the locks you have to pass there are limits to boats with a maximum of 90 meters in length, 9.9 meters in width. Check your maps before going. The SHA-2017 Harbour can handle ships that run no deeper than 1 meter, but then there are still some options. You can find an arrival map with waterways here (pdf). A more elaborate description will follow soon. The safe harbour is situated at the Nuldernauw-lake. Docking places are limited. When coming by boat reserve your place as early as possible.

Boat arrival procedure

When arriving by boat at SHA2017 you need to have arranged in advance that with the Safe Harbour Authority. The water in and nearby the Harbour is very under and you may easily get stuck. We may have other activities making docking a bit tricky. This is why we guide each arrival and departing vessel and provide necessary information and warnings that apply. For those that have a Harbour ticket they will receive a personal e-mail with relevant communications related to their place in their Harbour, docking procedures and safety.

Upon arrival they will be provided with services to obtain their wristband in an easy manner as well as their amenity kit. Before arriving contact the Safe Harbour Authority using VHF radio on channel 88 (simplex!) approximately 5 km before arrival or by calling us at: +31 36 2020 702. When VHF-equipment is present the use of VHF-88 is mandatory. No ships will be accepted with notification of arrival for safety reasons. You can help yourself and us by calling in as soon as you depart or have rough estimate of the arrival at the last locks before arrival so that we can plan in advance.

When reporting you will be provided with the latest weather information, flow and tide as other relevant information. This information is available in Dutch, German and English. Also we handle one vessel at a time and thus can request you to slow down your arrival or keep you waiting to ensure a safe and pleasant arrival for every ship. We try to deliver that information as early as possible to you to make your trip to SHA2017 as enjoyable as possible. Rest assured that we want you present as soon as possible so we will and try to get you in the Safe Harbour as soon as possible.

If you have registered with MMSI for your AIS-system we will know when you're at the final locks and prepare for your arrival in advance. Using our administration we will pro-activily call you if we need info.

In the Safe Harbour we have Harbour rules in addition to the SHA2017 rules.

Please remember to promptly walk towards the Main Entrance to register and receive your regular wristband and an extra wristband that will grant you access to the harbour area.
