Cotswolds: Stadswandeling door het historische Bath
Ter afwisseling van het landelijke karakter van de Engelse Cotswolds bezoeken we deze dag Bath. De stad heeft een geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de Romeinen, maar staat vooral bekend om z'n Georgian architectuur van statige uniforme herenhuizen en stratenplan van brede lanen.
Dat begint tijdens onze wandeling al meteen goed…

Cotswolds: Rondwandeling over de Minchinhampton Common
Vanuit Minchinhampton maken we een rondwandeling over de zogenaamde Common, een overblijfsel uit oude tijden waarbij vee vrij mocht grazen op gemeenschappelijke gronden. In en om het dorp lopen koeien en paarden dan ook vrij rond, net als wij vandaag tijdens onze wandeling.
Die start met enkele typisch Engelse smalle…

From Minchinhampton, we take a circular walk across the so-called Common, a relic from ancient times when cattle were allowed to graze freely on common land. Cows and horses roam freely in and around the village, just as we did today during our walk.
It starts with some typically English narrow paths

Cotswolds: Toeristisch Bourton-on-the-Water en het perfecte antwoord daarop
Het is warm in de Engelse Cotswolds en we trekken voor wat verkoeling naar een typisch Cotswolds-dorp: Bourton-on-the-Water. Het dorpje staat in iedere top-zoveel als het gaat om plaatsjes die je gezien moet hebben als je in deze regio op vakantie bent en dat is te merken. We struikelen over…

It's warm in the English Cotswolds and we head for some cooling refreshment to a typical Cotswolds village: Bourton-on-the-Water. The village is listed in every top-whatever when it comes to places you must see when you are on holiday in this region, and that's noticeable. We stumble over other tourists

Cotswolds: Op zoek naar Harry Potter in Lacock (Godric's Hollow)
Meer bij toeval dan intentioneel botsen we tijdens onze vakantie in de Engelse Cotswolds tegen het dorpje Lacock aan, lokaal bekend van z’n goed bewaard gebleven abdij en authentieke huizen.
Een korte zoekslag op Komoot levert echter een aantal highlights op met een andere herkenning: het dorp blijkt een filmlocatie…

More by chance than intention, during our holiday in the English Cotswolds, we stumble upon the village of Lacock, locally known for its well-preserved abbey and authentic houses.
A quick search on Komoot, however, yields a number of highlights with a different recognition: the village turns out to be

Familiegravel op de Veluwe
Even lekker een frisse neus halen met de meiden. Trailer achter de fiets, kleine erin, en lekker genieten van een extra zware maar prachtige gravelrit over de zuidelijke Veluwe bij m’n thuisplaats Arnhem.
Het is heerlijk weer en heerlijk om met de meiden lekker actief buiten te zijn. Naast mooie…

Eerste kennismaking met de Markerwadden 🥾🪶🌊
Van alle Waddeneilanden, bezocht ik deze nog nooit. Logisch ook, want de Markerwadden bestaan nog maar net 10 jaar en zijn nog minder lang echt goed toegankelijk.
Vanuit Lelystad stappen we op de veerboot naar het hoofdeiland, het enige dat toegankelijk is voor publiek. We genieten van een kop koffie…

Of all the Wadden Islands, I had never visited this one before. That makes sense, as the Marker Wadden have only existed for about 10 years and have only been truly accessible for less time.
From Lelystad, we board the ferry to the main island, the only one accessible to the public. We enjoy a cup of

Amelands wad en de natte natuur
Als afsluiting van een heerlijk waddenweekendje maken we een wandeling in het oosten van Ameland. Vanaf de Kooiduinen wandelen we meteen de natuur in en komend vervolgens geen mens meer tegen. Slingerend banen we een weg door het duinlandschap, voor we even later bij de Waddenzee arriveren. Eenmaal daar vertraagt…

Winterwandeling op de witte Veluwe
Op deze heerlijke witte winterdag trek ik samen met vrienden en familie te voet de Veluwezoom op. Onze wandeling start vanuit De Steeg en via Landgoed Middachten wandelen we al snel de hoogte in over besneeuwde en soms ijzige paden. Ons doel vandaag is de altijd gezellige Carolinahoeve, die ook…

Mont Saint-Michel had been on my list since I was a kid. However, I never really felt like making the trip there, partly because of its location and high tourist density. Now that we were in the area during our holiday in the surprisingly beautiful Brittany, it was time to visit this world-famous highlight

After a more relaxed ride earlier in the week, we now choose to cycle the MTB/(VTT) route of Cancale. We first follow the coast and ride through fields and sometimes along rocky coasts. The paths are alternately easy, to muddy or even briefly technical. Nevertheless, I get through everywhere reasonably

During our summer holiday in Brittany we visit the atmospheric coastal town of Cancale. From its famous oyster market we follow the coastal path towards Pointe de la Chaîne and further towards the beach at Port Briac. The bay has the largest tidal differences in the world and on the now dried up beach

The bike is the perfect way to get to know your surroundings. At the start of our holiday in Brittany, we get on our bikes to cycle to the famous Mont Saint-Michel during a not very technical gravel round. We do this via the coast and a polder that looks a lot like a Dutch landscape. Fortunately, Mont

As part of 'something different than cycling', we went for a walk with Alpacas with some friends and 1-year-old Nora.
We experienced it all during the 3 kilometer walk. From the Alpacas' regular pooping spot, first walk quietly and then run for a while towards a beautiful view.
Afterwards we ate a soft

During this lovely warm Saturday we went out as a family. Carly and I on the gravel bike and little Nora in her Tout Terrain Singletrailer, a children's trailer specially made for off-road cycling. Halfway we stopped for sandwiches and coffee on the always beautiful Loenermark. It's really great to go

Cycling on the Wadden Islands is always wonderful, even more so when you can do it together as a family after a year of taking turns cycling. With a strong force 6

As a change from the rural character of the English Cotswolds, we visit Bath on this day. The city has a history dating back to the Romans, but is mainly known for its Georgian architecture of stately uniform townhouses and its street plan of wide avenues.
This immediately starts off well during our walk
