We had been waiting for sunny days and this Saturday was predicted as such. So we took our hiking boots, dog and day pack and hurrierd to our local bus station where LAW 11 or "Grenslandpad" hikers in Easterly direction had to take the bus in order to cross the Westerscheld.
We took to the west. The noise and smell from the giant Dow factory were blown
by northerly winds in our direction.
The castrated Braakman creek was in the process of renovation yet again by man's intervention. Anyway, it look somehow promising. Finding trail markings got a new dimension and was quite fun. Tarred road and speedy cars followed us like stinging insects until we had crossed the main traffic road in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and entered the Braakman woods again. By that time evil smells and noise was greatly diminished and we enjoyed a real forest feel. This part of the trip was great. At the crossing of the N560 with the Isabella canal we left the trail and walked for 5 km towards Philippine where we took the bus to our starting point.
Distance (total) 19,5 km. Flat. Quite a bit of tar, noise and bad smells.
Personal rating: *
