Wat is dit toch een leuke stad. Harlingen gaat al lang mee en dat zie je. Prachtige oude gevels, mooie straatjes met veel historie. Zelfs de boot van Willem Barentsz ligt er nog. Een replica, dat wel.

A stroll through Lyndhurst, also known as the capital of the New Forest. Lovely shops, beautiful facades, old pubs. I even popped into the local car dealership to see if there was anything left to dream about (yes, plenty 😊).
It's so remarkable how car traffic here, just like in so many other English

A stroll in the New Forest. The word "new" is actually a bit misleading, as the area is almost 1,000 years old in this capacity. Its origins date back to the time of King William the Conqueror. In medieval English law, "New Forest" didn't mean a new forest, but rather a newly declared "royal forest

We have the TT in Assen, and in the New Forest they have the TTT: the Tall Trees Trail. A short walk past tall trees. Wow, what magnificent trees! Enormous Douglas firs and sequoias. It's difficult to capture the proportions and size in a photo, but I gave it a try. And no, I didn't forget my shoe 🙃

A magnificent walk from Gidleigh across the moors. To Kes Tor, one of Dartmoor's many tors, a rocky outcrop often perched atop a hill. Then over two Clapper Bridges, ancient stone bridges believed to date back to prehistoric times. Then on to the Scorhill Stonecircle, dating back to the Bronze Age.

A village near the campsite where we spent a few rainy hours (lunch at a food tent, a stroll around, a drink at a pub, a visit to the supermarket).
And here too, and in virtually every village we've visited so far, you'll find a memorial commemorating the victims of "The Great War," as the First World

A small village in the moor with mainly a church, a pub, and a parking lot. The church is also known as the "Cathedral in the Moor." Beautiful views of various so-called "Tors" (rock formations atop the hills). Then back in the car on roads no wider than a cycle path, tightly surrounded by meter-high

Grimspound is the name of the remains of a prehistoric settlement that was already present here around 1400 BC. A huge circle of stones likely formed a protective outer wall. Within the ring, the remains of dozens of houses that once stood here can be seen. The drizzling rain and mist make the whole scene even more mystical.

A tourist attraction, but still very worthwhile: the village of Tintagel and especially the walk around the ruins of Tintagel Castle. Everyone knows, of course, that this is where the legend of King Arthur begins (...). He was supposedly born there and smuggled away by Merlin, the magician.
Well, you

Folkestone. Famous for the terminal where the train departs under the Channel to Calais. The village turns out to be a wonderful mix of old streets and harbor, combined with the megalomaniac construction of hideous hotel factories that hopelessly spoil the boulevard. But the sun was shining, so we enjoyed
