DirkWi went for a hike.

Vandaag een klein beetje 'vals' moeten spelen. Door de treinstaking was het onmogelijk op een 'redelijk' uur in Froyennes te staan en ook nog zeker te zijn dat ik van Roubaix vlot naar huis zou geraken. Dus werd dit de eerste etappe in mijn Ontspoord Project waar een auto bij te pas kwam: ik reed van thuis naar Froyennes, liet daar (bij het station uiteraard) de auto achter, stapte naar Roubaix om van daar uit via Lille-Flandres terug naar Froyennes te treinen. Wat Komoot-problemen onderweg zorgden voor vertraging, waardoor ik in halfdonker door Roubaix stapte.

The 72nd stage of my station-walking chain just crossed the French border, but after the first 5 km, it crossed entirely into Belgian territory (although there was some border flirting until halfway through ;-)).
I passed through villages I'd never heard of... and apparently, I'm not the only one: the

It's been since February 1, 2025, that I last headed to the east of the country to hike from station to station. That time, I hiked from Huy to Waremme.
This time, it was Waremme-Andenne, across the Haspengouw plateau and—for the first time in my Derailed Project—entering the province of Namur.

Komoot interrupted this hike twice without asking. Fortunately, they were kind enough to save the route they had taken.
Therefore, this stage is divided into three sections: #70a, b, and c.
This is the last of the three sections.

That's why this stage is divided into three sections: #70a, b, and c.
I only hiked 900 meters on section b before being allowed to restart.

Komoot liet me bij deze etappe wat in de steek: tot tweemaal toe werd de navigatie afgebroken en - gelukkig - opgeslagen. Het werden dus drie routes: #70a, b en c, samen goed voor 40km.

After stages starting and/or finishing in Harelbeke, Vichte, and Menen, this was the last in my series of wanderings around Kortrijk. The next stage leads to the city center.

The 68th stage of my quirky train ride brought me back to Belgian soil (albeit briefly) after a short detour to Lille.

After a false start (Komoot dropped out after a good kilometer), stage 74 headed towards Kooigem, Sint-Denijs, Bellegem, Rollegem, and then on to Mouscron.
I left time between the finish of the previous stage, Roubaix, and the start of this stage, Tourcoing, to add an extra stage through the north of
