Kampen-Soest

The highlight of this day was riding through the Veluwe Nation Park. Great cycle tracks in magnificent forest, intermittently breaking out into clear areas reminiscent in parts of the African savannah. Sandy ground, tussocks and small hills.

It was a bit of a shock to approach and enter Amersfoort, especially with all the schools emptying onto the cycle tracks. Onwards to Soest….

We said goodbye to Jan tonight. Sadly not retired, he goes back to Rotterdam to catch the overnight ferry home to Hull. It’s been a brilliant week and, though we’ve visited NL many times, his insight was great. We are signed off on most Dutch food now, finishing with some Dutch-Indonesian food tonight. Thanks Jan and see you back in York!Read more
