Well, that was a really tough day. Lots of ups and downs, but above all, a lot of mud and slickness, even during a few steep climbs and descents. At least I got to exert myself outside for a day. This is another fantastic walk, although it's very muddy and wet at the moment (especially in the Geuldal

Code Red?? Black ice?? Skating on the street?? I had completely different problems here... Far too warm in my winter hiking gear. Even when I wasn't going uphill, sweat was pouring down my back. But I certainly won't complain. So wonderful, all that light, all that color! I don't know if we actually

Well, that really didn't work out yesterday. I haven't had this much runny nose in years, and everything hurt. I spent a lot of time lying on the couch with tissues, so I just had to. This morning after waking up, I felt a bit better, and the weather looked (unexpectedly) fantastic; so back on my feet

Yes! I've holed up in South Limburg for a week and want to do a few circular walks from there, featuring in the book "Walking through Limburg's Hills" by Rob Wolfs and Ruger Burgers. It consists of 18 circular walks of about 15 km. I obviously won't be able to do 18 in one week, but a few should be doable

Another sunny and especially enjoyable day of hiking today. This time with a group of enthusiasts from our Eiffelsteig holiday last September. We had a true Haarlem local in our group, and he put together a beautiful route straight through the Kennemerduinen dunes. It was a lovely walk, with coffee here

On this beautiful, sunny day, I walked Stage 3 of the Groene Hartpad with @Benita. And once again, we were pleasantly surprised. Okay, there was a stretch of asphalt where we couldn't really walk side by side, the traffic was so heavy, and okay, there were a lot of straight stretches, but if you like

Yes, what weather!! You just have to get outside! Dutch winter at its best today, and I enjoyed it so much. I really felt like getting out of Amsterdam today, and luckily I still have a few walks from Rutger Burgers' book in reserve, so I went to Bussum (Naarden) today. **Tuttebolmoduson** It's important

Yes, and the next one is already in the legs! I've decided to sort of let go of the order (which wasn't easy ;-)) and to structure the walks more based on the distances. The weather was fantastic today. Partly cloudy, watery sunshine, and dry. I love that. I can already feel it's going to cool down considerably

Wow, it's been a while. A little tear in your calf muscle is so strange... *sighs*. But now I have two weeks of vacation and time to do a lot of walking. The weather looks great, the coming week will be chilly but dry. That's how I like it ;-). Let's hope my calf can handle it. Today I started the rest
