I left early in the morning around 7 am as I could see from the map that I had a long day ahead of me if I wanted to reach Ronne. Also, I was almost out of water because the nearby tap hadn't been opened yet. So no way of sitting and drinking morning coffee slowly...
Thankfully I found paths behind the dunes and also the official route went behind and on top of the dunes most of the day. Only occasionally I had to walk directly on the beach. It was as heavy as yesterday.
