12 Tops in a low land - Groningen

5-Nov-24


The top of Groningen is not high but requires quite some travel time to get there so I went by train to Ede to meet my sister and then she drove us to Sellingen for the start of the hike.

Today I leave the beautiful Vechtdal in Overijssel with the Pieterpad to make way for the Sallandse Heuvelrug,

a moraine from the Ice Age.

Will I be able to complete the

20 kilometer track from Ommen to Hellendoorn?

With a second day within 4 days on the trail passing over the Sallandse Heuvelrug I challenge the artrosis in my ankles and test my physical condition.

I am happy it works out well and I have another beautiful hike in the countryside walking from Hellendoorn to Holten!

A beautiful tour from Rheeze to Ommen through the Vecht valley for the remainder of track 9. The passage of the Vecht near Junne was particularly special, as was the part through the forest park of the Junne estate.

Sunday walk in Scheveningen

20-Oct-24


Already the 7th walk from the guide "Wandelen buiten de binnenstad van Den Haag" that I organise for members of InterNations in The Hague.


Today we walked around Scheveningen and from the book we learned about some of the history as well as points of interest.

Sunday walk in The Hague

29-Sep-24


Another city walk in The Hague with members of InterNations.


This time just north of the city through neighborhoods Willemspark, Archipel and Seaheroes. Most of us had walked around more than often but not paid attention to history or points of interest. As we did today we had to make some shortcuts to complete the 10 km in an acceptable time.

SailWise - It Sailhûs

22-27-Sep-24


This week I was a volunteer for SailWise at the Heegermeer in Friesland.

It was sailing holiday with the Beatrix and the smaller sailboats available.


As I have still not decided how to track these sailing events for participants with a disability on my site this is the only mention so far.

18-Sep-24


Today's track runs through the Vechtdal from Coevorden to Hardenberg, 19 km. Based on the last 22 km hike I did 2 weeks ago I did not expect issues but for some reason my ankles today did not like it. Even after a lunch longer than usual the pain remained and after a total of 13 km I decided to go back home.
