Ria van den Heuvel

Ik wandel al sinds 2009 wekelijks met een vriendin en sinds 2019 wandelen we met komoot en ook met onze echtgenoten diverse tochten, waaronder: wandelmarathon van Egmond, de 30 van zandvoort, bloesemtocht vanuit Geldermalsen, in 2019 hebben we het Pieterpad afgesloten. En in 2020 hebben we de Walk of Wisdom uitgelopen. nu zijn we bezig met het Kloosterpad, maar ivm blessures staat het even stil ('23), inmiddels afgesloten eind 2024.
We hebben ook verschillende Airbornetochten gelopen.
Fietstochten van rond de 60-70 kilometer staan ook regelmatig op ons programma, maar 90 tot 100 kilometer vinden we ook niet erg.
2x per week een bezoek aan de sportschool voor een lesje body burn en zumba hoort er ook bij.
Ook heb ik in mijn 'jonge' jaren gehandbald en hardlopen was ook jaren een favoriet net als tennis en badminton.
Door de jaren heen zijn we al in veel landen op vakantie geweest, o.a.: Schotland, Ierland, Engeland, div. keren in Frankrijk, Spanje, Italië, België, Luxemburg en Duitsland (op de motor), Polen, Bulgarije, Turkije, Griekenland, Balkanlanden, Noorwegen, Zwitserland, Oostenrijk, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Sicilië en natuurlijk ook in Nederland.

This year too, the Oranjecomité Kerkdriel organized its annual autumn walk for enthusiasts. We had left a little earlier, which allowed us to adjust our pace slightly (lower, that is) and still be on time for the coffee break at 10 am.

We were on time, especially when you meet someone you haven't seen

After climbing and scrambling in the Müllerthal for 2 days, we opted for a more 'open hike' before heading home.

There was a steep climb at first before we reached the 'open' part. But this too was enjoyable with lots of nature, a bit of history, lots of sun and fresh air.

And has anyone ever experienced

yesterday's tour was tough, rugged and (partially) strenuous, today's was average (tough), fairytale-like and enjoyable.

This hike started reasonably and built up to quite tough and from there to reasonable. Beautiful rock formations, the stone steps alternating with bridges, lots of trees, a babbling

At the invitation of our son, we are in the Müllerthal this weekend. After a strenuous drive from the Netherlands, we immediately took on the difficult route 🫣. This was a bit too ambitious. Steep climbing, uneven stairs, a robber's den where our Sam 🐕 couldn't climb the stairs, and a suspension bridge

Today we parked our car at Fort Vuren. We have passed by here a few times on our bikes, so it was time to explore this area on foot.

As mentioned, we started at the Fort and walked into the Hondswaard, where a sandstone factory used to stand and which has now been returned to nature (and hikers). A beautiful

we haven't seen each other for 2 weeks during which all sorts of things happened. Loes talked for 2/3 of the hike and for me there was 1/3 left 😂. I had to get used to it when I got home again (sorry Loes 😂). But it was fun as usual, the route wasn't spectacular, it was more for the kilometers and the chatter 😁

Today was another beautiful day for the 33rd pearl on the Maasketting.

It was a joy from beginning to end with beautiful paths along the Maas, although at one point we wished we had a machete with us because we got entangled in brambles and other overgrown bushes. But we got through it well with only

Today we left our lovely little hotel De Maaskant in Maaseik in a wonderfully relaxed manner.

The temperature was a few degrees lower than yesterday and that was wonderful!

At the Maas, the path was closed, so we had to walk 500 meters along the road. But then it was immediately enjoyable, beautiful mown

It started so well in Kessenich, but it ended in Ophoven.

Phone battery empty, no problem... connected a power bank and went. until the power bank also indicated that it had had enough 🫣.

Nothing to be done, then at the end in the car connected the mobile. ok 👍. But I had forgotten Murphy's Law... if

a visit to our daughter resulted in another beautiful walk in the area.

We walked along the green edge of Galder into the forests and heath of the Barony of Breda.

Across the heath, a beautiful boardwalk had been constructed with a bench in the middle, which we used for a while. The route was largely

Today we walked from Loon op Zand via the Natuurpoort straight into the Loonse en Drunense Duinen. It was quite tough due to the loose sand, various climbs, and the strong wind. The temperature was lovely and thanks to beautiful vistas, an energetic young dog, and a few mushrooms, we quickly arrived

This time it was really scrambling over trees and branches, when we got past that, the nettles came, not nice with bare legs.

And just when we thought we had to shorten the walk due to a shower, it dried up and we could still enjoy our cup of coffee🤩

After that we went straight through Rossum to the Van

This morning we had to go to Zaltbommel for an errand and as you know... we also make a walk out of it.

From De Vergt we walked via the Jewish cemetery and the Singelwal to the Kloosterwiel. We passed nice 'tiny houses' and via the Vlindertuin we walked to the Gamerensche Waarden. We took the dead-end

Today we took a beautiful walk that we borrowed from with a small extension😉

And it was more than worth it with enough variety in paths, bridges, landscape and sights. The weather was also good, sometimes it seemed warmer than the indicated 24⁰.

But there was enough shade along the way

The weeks fly by, it's Monday again. After a period of many birthdays etc. it was lovely to make some extra kilometers now. After 6 kilometers we turned left towards the marina and along 'the soup bowl' to reach the Maas. After a short while we went back up the dike and were almost in the center of Ammerzoden
