Suggested route picked from Komoot and changed the starting point.

The walk started in full sun, but the mist was never far away.
On the way to Rockanje there was only blue sky. When I walked back onto the beach via "strand eerste slag", the world suddenly became a lot smaller.
Once back near the Quackjeswater the sun reappeared.

Walk with 40 members of Groot Gestel from Rockanje. Started on the beach, lots of loose sand. Regularly over the dunes was tough. Parts through the dunes very beautiful. At the start put on a thin jacket later off. Sunny, but windy. Lunch in the dunes later something to drink at a beach bar. Was fun again.

In the dunes it was good to notice that it has rained a lot in this area recently. In places where there was supposed to be water, there was actually water at one …
