Maandagwandeling, eindelijk regen
Een leuke maandagwandeling waarbij Loes het woord 'skippybal' niet meer wist en het even voordeed 😂

I never thought I'd say it, but.... finally rain!
This morning Loes and I left a little later because it was quite a heavy drizzle, but we eventually went in a light rain shower.
Today we went for coffee and a chat to the Gouden Molen, with even more extra chat (acquaintances) on the way back.
I can only

Ingekorte maandagwandeling met Loes
Als ik niet, of laat, reageer op een wandeling of fietstocht dan ligt dat niet aan mij... komoot vertoont weer kuren en stuurt geen tochten meer door naar mij!!!

Despite leaving early this morning, it soon became quite warm / stuffy warm. Therefore, we decided to shorten the hike a bit and stop by the bakery in Hedel for coffee, sit for a while, and then head back home.
There was of course plenty to talk about after all these weeks, especially music was discussed

Maasketting: Batenburg (Hernen) Niftrik
Er miste nog een schakeltje tussen de Maasketting, het is nu weer gerepareerd. Met als extraatje het dorp Hernen en een leuk verhaal over het kasteel.

Still missing a link between the Maas chains, but as of today it has been repaired. With the village of Hernen as a bonus and a nice story about the castle.
Unfortunately, we were too early for a visit, but a kind lady who worked there was able to tell us something about the castle:
Kasteel Hernen has

This morning we left on time for another link in our Maas chain.
We didn't start where we stopped last time, but that will be fine soon😊 The first part from pumping station Van Citters I went over the dike to the railway bridge, there we went via a game trail to the Maas where the grass was quite high

We had to go to Belgium today and decided to take a short walk on the way back, short due to the heat.
The choice fell on Dorst.
We parked at restaurant de Beum and immediately entered the Dorst forest area from there. Lovely in the shade because it was already warm by then and the cattle thought so too

Maasuiterwaarden, laatste keer...?
Deze wandeling doen we elk jaar 'n keer. Een heerlijke wandeling door een mooi stil gebied langs de Maas. Maar wat schetst onze verbazing... er is een bord geplaatst met 'geen toegang'!!

We do this walk once a year. A lovely walk through a beautiful quiet area along the Maas. But what is our surprise... after ± 700 meters a sign has been placed with 'no access'!!
Because we were already so far after 1 false start, we continued anyway (hoping for the best).
Under the guise of 'this is the

This morning, I left a bit too late for a hike towards Alem. The temperature was already rising quite a bit.
But saying A doesn't mean you have to say B. So when we had wandered along the Maas at the Gat van Sientje and the sun was increasing in strength, we decided to shorten the hike a bit.
After we

Off to the optician again. Those glasses of mine have resulted in quite a few trips. Hopefully, this is the last time 👀.
It was lovely weather, so we got back on our bikes.
After the visit to the optician, we bought a tasty sandwich. On the way back, we passed the Engelermeer and there was a bench free

Today another, for now last, walk in Belgium. We have chosen a walk in the Kleiputten near Brecht.
It started off well right away along the canal, water always does well with us 😉. But when we walked into the Kleiputten, the water was gone. Many fens looked sad due to the drought🫤. But the surroundings

I saw on the map of Hoogstraten that a castle was mentioned and I love castles! So I quickly made a route that passed by the castle. But unfortunately (for us), it is nowadays a penitentiary school where prisoners are prepared for their return to society.
It was again a beautiful route in a beautiful

A 'Strawberry Route' that didn't quite roll as it should have. After first buying some goodies for the road at the local supermarket, we set off on what 'we thought' komoot would lead us to the nearest route point. Nothing could be further from the truth 😂. First ±8 km straight through Hoogstraten and

Daughter is on holiday with her husband and child, and we are looking after their house and their 3-legged cat.
A nice reason to take a closer look at the village of Meer. And it certainly did not disappoint. It is a cozy village with a chapel, an impressive church and even a Lourdes grotto, a nice village

So, this is the last hike before Loes and I go on summer recess 😁. With our summer activities, Monday hikes won't be possible for the time being.
This was an adapted short hike along the dike near Hoenzadriel and via a piece of Provincialeweg we walked into Velddriel to go home again.
We regularly walk

Van Kerkdriel naar Tiel en terug
Aangezien komoot de laatste tijd nogal vreemd doet, tocht onderbreken enz., heb ik geluk dat mijn tocht via de fiets toch wordt opgenomen (zonder onderbrekingen). Alleen de foto's zijn er nu los bijgeplaatst en niet op volgorde

Since komoot has been acting rather strangely lately, interrupting tours, etc., I'm lucky that my bike tour is still being recorded (without interruptions). Only the photos are now added separately and not in the correct order.
Unfortunately, for a few days now, komoot has no longer been forwarding walks

Today we tried to take a beautiful walk between the showers. That was partly successful, the beautiful part therefore😉. The rain came just as we left the floodplains behind us and walked into Herwijnen, where we found shelter at the church 🙏.
But we did enjoy ourselves along the Waal with its beautiful
