Nu zetelt het vriendelijke dorp op de troon van Frans Vlaanderen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Om 10.30 startten we op de heuvel waar op deze winterse maandag maar weinig toeristen te zien zijn. Gemakkelijk parkeren dus. We lopen eerst naar de molen op het hoogste punt van de omgeving en zakken dan langzaam af naar de vlakke agrarische omgeving. Er zijn nogal wat (modderige) paden. Waar het 400 mensen tellende gehucht Hardifort zijn naam vandaan haalt weet ik niet. De (Belgische) uitbaatster van winkel, annex bar, klaagt over de leegloop van het dorp. Zij en haar man kunnen in ieder geval (net) rondkomen. Er is wel een schooltje en er staan veel nieuwe huizen. De koffie smaakt redelijk maar voor € 1.40 moet je geen boetiekkwaliteit verwachten. De door het departement in het Nederlands uitgegeven kaart (ook te downloaden) is voor treffelijk. Vooral het noordoostelijke stuk van het traject krijgt aandacht.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Als het pad niet onverhard is lopen we op stille teerweggetjes. Zermezele ligt er verlaten bij. De goudkleurige buste van de soldaat uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog trekt er zich niets van aan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ten westen van Bavinckhoven passeren verschillende malen spoorlijnen. De TGV met zijn gele en blauwe zwaailichten passeert hier erg vaak. Door de windstilte is het geluid van de treinen is in de wijde omtrek hoorbaar. Een langzame maar aangename klim brengt ons terug in het dorp. Aan gasten hebben veel restaurants op deze maandag geen behoefte dan maar een chauffre en koffie voordat we via de kronkelende kinderkopjesweg afzakken naar het echte Vlaanderen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;Van Ouddorp naar Rockanje. De zonnige zaterdag speelde ons in de kaart. Al snel lopen we op de Oostdijkseweg langs een groot natuurgebied. De markering volgt een teerweg die ook als fietspad dient en waarvan veel gebruik wordt gemaakt door wielrenners, &lt;i&gt;mountain bikers&lt;/i&gt; en zomaar fietsers. De forse noordenwind (kracht 3-4) is nauwelijks storend wellicht door de overdadige zon.  Goedereede is een gezellig oud dorp waar wegens Open Monumentendag een klein marktje is en langs de kade is er een wedstrijd ringsteken. Na het plaatsje Havenhoofd komen we zowaar voor enkele honderden meters op een niet verhard pad. Na de tunnel onder de N57 gaan we de indrukwekkende Haringvliet stormvloedkering op. Er is wel veel lawaai van het gemotoriseerd verkeer maar  het zicht over de water met&amp;nbsp; grote en kleine zeilboten  maakt veel goed. Onze lunch  hebben we aan de oever. Kort hierna gaan we in noordelijke richting het strand op totdat we via het noordelijkste puntje van het Voornse Duin naar Rockanje lopen waar we met buslijn 210 naar Hellevoetsluis gaan en vervolgens terug naar Ouddorp.  De verbinding is redelijk maar het duurt wel een dik uur om de 20 km af te leggen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Het viel niet tegen door het vlakke land te lopen.

De afkeer van de zwarte blokjes op de landkaart in deze omgeving belooft niet veel moois, bovendien vind ik het zoeken van de GR markering in de stad een crime.&lt;br /&gt;Op 4-9-9 regende het de hele weg van huis naar de Gelaagstraat in Rupelmonde. Een halfuurtje wachten in de auto deed de ruiten beslaan terwijl de hemel blauwer werd. De regenjas werd al op de kade  uitgedaan  Het amper ontwaakt centrum vond ik heel aardig. met de mooie kerk  waarvan ik de naam alweer vergeten ben. De verkeerde weg die ik voor Bazel nam was onverhard en was gedeeltelijk een populierenlaan. Een stuk dat wellicht aan de GR toegevoegd zou kunnen worden. De pont van Henniksem vaart ieder half uur. Een groot vaartuig dat 2 minuten over de overtocht doet maar waarvan de dieselmotoren altijd lijken te draaien.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;Aan de overkant van de Schelde was het rechtdoor en na ruim 1 km vind ik de eerste markering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SqIiabZXO3I/AAAAAAAAAq4/siRONmQC5rg/s1600-h/_DSC0996.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SqIiabZXO3I/AAAAAAAAAq4/siRONmQC5rg/s320/_DSC0996.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377898742459874162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ik loop later weer zonder hulp van de rood-witte markering in noordelijke richting en kom tussen velden en boerderijen in de groenhoek en langs een vrijwel verborgen kasteel dat aan de oostzijde van de Klaverdreef ligt. (wat zien we toch graag de architectonische erfenissen van adel, rijkdom en onderdrukking).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SqIik4-JFLI/AAAAAAAAArA/Scsk83rAFR0/s1600-h/_DSC0998.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SqIik4-JFLI/AAAAAAAAArA/Scsk83rAFR0/s320/_DSC0998.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377898922197456050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;De dreef komt uit op de Bernarduslaan en hier zie ik alleen op de rijbaan een rood-witte markering. Het begint te regenen en omdat ik heel ver weg in het verlengde van de rechte weg door Hoboken de OLV kathedraal zie laat ik me omgeven door lawaaierige auto's, bussen en trams. Ik loop kilometers door klein Marokko op de Kennedytunnel af en vervolgens , als het kan langs  de Schelde. Een lokaal eetcafé serveert me 4 spiegeleieren waarschijnlijk omdat ze mijn bestelling vergeten waren. De hond profiteert mee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"&gt;Na een 6 tal uren wandel ik onder het  Scheldewater naar de Linker Oever met een prachtig uitzicht op de Antwerpese binnenstad. Een gospelzangeres dame luistert op de Scheldedijk een huwelijk op. Ik zie haar niet maar haar stem doet wel haar figuur vermoeden. Dichtbij het gebied waar de Lange Wapper brug/tunnel moet komen bereik ik het eindpunt van deze dag.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;Het viel niet tegen als je niet veel verwacht.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;Afstand 27 km.

De etappe van Chaam naar Meerseldreef zou 27 km zijn maar bleek 17,5 km. Als ik met mijn echtgenote ga wandelen leveren de misrekeningen altijd langere afstanden op.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ik moest wat uitlopen na mijn tocht van Le Puy naar Santiago.  De auto werd op een verlaten pad op de weg naar Gilze in het bos geparkeerd. Dit had als neveneffect dat ik me tijdens het wandelen zorgen maakte over de conditie van deze buitensporig grote investering bij terugkomst. het ging dus westwaarts. De weersvoorspelling bleek correct met eigenlijkte hoge temperaturen om lekker te wandelen. Geen centje last van die hitte in de Ulvenhoutse bossen die het begin van de waren vormden. Wel was de rood-wit markering oud en vaak afwezig. Je hebt hier dus een extra ondersteuning nodig om op tijd thuis te komen. De geur leek op die van dennenbossen op de Griekse eilanden. (harsgeur?) De paden waren voornamelijk onverhard en pas na 1 uur (9.30) zag ik hier 2 paardrijdende medebewoners van onze aardbol. Horen doe je die wel al was het maar de houtkapper met zaag of de vliegtuigen en -tuigjes. het was eigenlijk een beetje eenzaam daar en daar zijn stiltegebieden, zo worden ze ook netjes op borden aangeduid, ook voor bedoeld. Een beetje een caminogevoel dus. Het laatste stuk  waren de  Strijbeekse bossen,overigens met een uitstekende markering , waren de laatste van 15 km schaduw.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;persoonlijke waardering: tocht voor te zonnige warme dagen. ****&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-4614042776119716380?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/4614042776119716380/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=4614042776119716380' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/4614042776119716380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/4614042776119716380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2009/06/law11-van-chaam-naar-meerseldreef-het.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-6306877746837245235</id><published>2009-03-27T15:00:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2010-05-24T10:20:39.110+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;LAW501 Renesse-Ouddorp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20-3-2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Een superzonnige lekker frisse (8-11 graden) dag met een matige oostenwind.  Het parkeren van de auto in Renesse in de buurt van het strand is zelfs in de wintertijd niet gemakkelijk maar ik vond een plekje in de Oosterbaanweg.&lt;br /&gt;Om 9.30 startten we. Dwz de hond en ik. Eerst naar de dorpskern met veel gesloten restaurants en cafés. Het centrum behoort nog een paar weken aan de inwoners toe.  Van Pasen tot september wordt het verhuurd aan de toerist.  Het kon me niet deren. Even ten oosten van het dorp gaat het tussen de residenties naar het strand dat hier gigantisch breed is. De Noordzee is kalm met de aflandige wind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sczc68c3YEI/AAAAAAAAAbY/njshMEI11bc/s1600-h/20090320+003+C.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317868165235433538" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sczc68c3YEI/AAAAAAAAAbY/njshMEI11bc/s400/20090320+003+C.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 250px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 400px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hier en daar een hondenliefhebber is alles wat we aan menselijk leven zien. Tot aan de Brouwersdam is het strand en dan volg ik de dijk die bij de Kabbelaarsbank wordt overgestoken naar het wat decadent aandoend Port Zelande. Terug naar de tijd van Napoleon maar dan wel met frieten. Tot aan de Punt van Goeree loop ik parallel aan de weg maar een paar km voor Ouddorp volgt het pad de zigzaggende dijk die nog trekjes heeft van een echte zeedijk. Ouddorp lijkt een gezellige plaats. Of dit ook zo is in het toeristenseizoen weet ik niet maar dan zou ik hier niet gaan wandelen.&lt;br /&gt;Op deze trip zie je zee, dijk en meer en de enorme effecten die wij hebben op onze omgeving kunnen hebben. Gelukkig zie op veel plaatsen de nieuwe natuur ontstaan juweeltjes van natuurgebied met duizenden vogels die allemaal lijken te kwetteren: ik was hier eerst.&lt;br /&gt;Al met al een mooie tocht met ongeveer 40% onverharde weg.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand op LAW: 20,6 km. Aanloop: 500 m. Uitloop naar bus station Ouddorp: 1 km.

Dus plande ik een niet al te lange wandeling. Ik werd netjes afgezet ten westen van Absdale op de GR5a. Nu had ik dit stuk 15 jaar geleden ook al gewandeld en herinner me nog de grote hoeveelheid bitumen waarop gelopen moest worden. Daarom kreeg ik de kriebels toen ik op asfalt tegen de forse westenwind moest opboksen. Maar al snel liep ik heerlijk tussen de velden over een modderpad dat uitkwam op een onverharde weg die parallel loopt aan de Hulsterse weg. Na het Kijkuit moet ik de weg delen met auto’s en motors. Het weer is kennelijk te guur voor fietsers laat staan de wandelaar. Vlak na dit gehucht staat rechts een huis dat vroeger een oud spoorwegstation was. Als zodanig dit nu niet meer te herkennen itt 1994.&lt;br /&gt;Tot in Hulst is de weg verhard. Wel kan ik soms beneden aan de dijk op een modderig pad lopen. De westelijke stadswallen van Hulst vind ik toch wel indrukwekkend. We zijn dan inmiddels ruim 10 km verder.

En op 1-3-9 gingen mijn zoon en ik van Horendijk naar Pannenhoef. Op de eerste liep ik van begin tot eind in de regen. Ondanks dat was de start veelbelovend met een prachtig zandpad dat mij verleidde om mijn camera uit te pakken. Na ongeveer 2 km was het gedaan met zandweg en ook de markering vond ik niet meer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPuAHMO08I/AAAAAAAAAbI/fqGNJeiNZxY/s1600-h/20090228+011+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPuAHMO08I/AAAAAAAAAbI/fqGNJeiNZxY/s400/20090228+011+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315353670925079490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Teer richting Rijsbergen was het enige wat erop zat. Daar kwam ik op het rechte spoor. De omgeving is een typisch gecultiveerd Brabants landschap zonder veel natuur. De teer houdt aan totdat we de A16 zijn gekruist. De aanloop naar de Mark loopt door open weilanden. Tot in Meersel Dreef ga ik langs deze rivier. Nat duik ik het café Jansen en Jansen in en geniet van een donkere Leffe totdat ik te horen krijg dat het café de Pelgrim 2 deuren verder is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand: 16 km  Persoonlijke waardering */****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Van Horendonk naar de Pannenhoefse dreef&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;2 dagen later. Het is licht bewolkt maar zonder zon. Zo worden mijn zoon en ik afgezet in Horendonk midden in een bos. Op deze zondagochtend delen we pad met enkele andere vroege vogels maar het blijft leuk. Sommige stukken zijn modderig maar leveren toch geen problemen op. Waterdichte schoenen zijn wel noodzakelijk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPupd5TDCI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/JZRB8tZvM9s/s1600-h/20090228+003+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPupd5TDCI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/JZRB8tZvM9s/s400/20090228+003+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315354381394316322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Het is er ijselijk stil. De weggetjes van nu roepen herinneringen op aan de bospaden rond Eindhoven 55 jaar geleden. Die leken toen eindeloos en de bossen soms een beetje dreigend. Als ik na een 5,5 km bij de teerweg komt verdwijnt de rood-witte markering. (N51 28 06.0 E4 35 54.4). We raken het spoor bijster en volgen de asfaltweg. We “ontdekken” een modderig pad langs een beek (N51 27 51.0 E4 36 31.2) dat nu onderdeel van onze LAW.   De zon schijnt zowaar en al gauw lopen we in T shirt en fleece. Omdat we bij de Moerse bossen moeten uitkomen, nemen we binnendoortjes. De boeren tolereren onze passages. Er valt overigens momenteel niets plat te trappen waarvan de boer moet leven. Maar toch. Brabantse tolerantie? Het landschap is heel afwisselend met veel onverharde bospaden. De Pannenhoefse baan leidt ons uit de bossen. Het wordt koeler in de middag. We worden hier opgehaald na een 20tal minuten op de rand van een sloot wat te hebben uitgerust. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand:  20,1 km  Persoonlijke waardering: ***/**** &lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-2529750027878055202?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/2529750027878055202/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=2529750027878055202' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/2529750027878055202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/2529750027878055202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2009/03/normal-0-21-microsoftinternetexplorer4_20.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPuAHMO08I/AAAAAAAAAbI/fqGNJeiNZxY/s72-c/20090228+011+C.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-5174224718708963741</id><published>2009-03-20T20:06:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-20T20:07:34.501+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GR5a'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;GR5a van Absdale naar De Klinge &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26-2-2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPnwYJhe1I/AAAAAAAAAao/rCnzpew5EkQ/s1600-h/20090226+003+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPnwYJhe1I/AAAAAAAAAao/rCnzpew5EkQ/s400/20090226+003+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315346803529448274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Het was tijd om een paar nieuwe Meindls (43) in te lopen vòòr vertrek naar Santiago. Dus plande ik een niet al te lange wandeling. Ik werd netjes afgezet ten westen van Absdale op de GR5a. Nu had ik dit stuk 15 jaar geleden ook al gewandeld en herinner me nog de grote hoeveelheid bitumen waarop gelopen moest worden. Daarom kreeg ik de kriebels toen ik op asfalt tegen de forse westenwind moest opboksen. Maar al snel liep ik heerlijk tussen de velden over een modderpad dat uitkwam op een onverharde weg die parallel loopt aan de Hulsterse weg. Na het Kijkuit moet ik de weg delen met auto’s en motors. Het weer is kennelijk te guur voor fietsers laat staan de wandelaar. Vlak na dit gehucht staat rechts een huis dat vroeger een oud spoorwegstation was. Als zodanig dit nu niet meer te herkennen itt 1994.&lt;br /&gt;Tot in Hulst is de weg verhard. Wel kan ik soms beneden aan de dijk op een modderig pad lopen. De westelijke stadswallen van Hulst vind ik toch wel indrukwekkend. We zijn dan inmiddels ruim 10 km verder. Met de wind in de rug eten we op een bankje aan de zuidkant van de winkelstraat onze lunch. Dwz de hond en ik. De eerste kijkt de kat uit de boom alvorens ze haar eigen brokken eet. Ten zuiden van Hulst licht een aangelegd bos (na ruilverkaveling) en erop aansluitend tegen de grens met België is een waterwingebied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPoS0RAY1I/AAAAAAAAAaw/r1N3soSXkuw/s1600-h/20090226+006+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/ScPoS0RAY1I/AAAAAAAAAaw/r1N3soSXkuw/s320/20090226+006+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315347395192578898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;De wind zorgt voor het zwiepende geluid van de dennen.

Het loopt over de noordelijke richel van kalk waarop een laag klei ligt.   De treinverbinding vanuit Woking waar we verbleven is perfect. De spoorwegen zijn efficiënt en de beambten vriendelijk.  De zon scheen en mijn schoonzoon, die vreesde dat deze wandeling een beproeving zou worden, werd allengs vrolijker. Uit het station ga je even in oostelijke richting en vlakbij de doorgaande weg ga je rechts. Daarna is het continu op onverharde paden tussen bossen, moeren, weilanden en een groot golfterrein. De voetstappen in de modder tonen dat we niet alleen hier lopen. Het is zondag en regelmatig ontmoeten we medewandelaars die niet beroerd zijn om een praatje te maken. Er is zelfs wild te zien. Voornamelijk konijnen en de 3 herten die de heuvelrug op renden zien in de mens nog steeds een bedreiging. De heuvels in dit stuk zijn niet steil. Helaas is in de achtergrond vrijwel continu het geraas van de A31 hoorbaar.   Er is genoeg tijd voor conversatie die gaat over politiek en economie, de emotionele en fysieke groei van de kleinkinderen en golf. We vergeten zelfs af te slaan op de Moor Park Way maar de Greensand Way brengt ons door het prachtige Moor Park weer op het rechte pad. De tijd vliegt en voor dat we het realiseren lopen we op verharde weg door het dorp Puttenham met zijn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;sprookjeshuisjes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sbp85A-pa2I/AAAAAAAAAZ4/BfYIlkCx46w/s1600-h/20090307+003+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sbp85A-pa2I/AAAAAAAAAZ4/BfYIlkCx46w/s200/20090307+003+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312696029394070370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Als we een pub willen induiken, wordt wegens nieuw tapijt verzocht de schoenen uit te doen. Begrijpelijk maar we hebben er geen zin in en lopen verder. Een naar frietvet stinkend theehuis annex art gallery  niet ver voor Guildford  voorziet ons van thee, choco en scones. Zo zijn er nog meer pubs die het leven langs dit stuk van wandeling aangenaam maken. Het pad was uitstekend gemarkeerd met afbeeldingen van een eikel , kleine pijltjes of gewoon richtingbordjes.  Als we Guildford naderen gaan we bij de rivier Wey van de NDW af naar het station in de stad, Er is iedere 10 min. een trein naar Woking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand:  20 km (met de omweg) Uitloop: 2 km&lt;br /&gt;Persoonlijke waardering: ***/****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9-3-2009 van &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Guildford naar Dorking&lt;/span&gt; een randgeval.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;De zon was nog minnetjes toen we om 8.15 in Guildford de rivier Wey opzochten en de North Downs Way opgingen.

Als je zo de zuidvallei inkijkt met prachtige grillige kale bomen als eenzame wachters dan neem je dat op de kop toe. Ook hier enkele medewandelaars die zich uitzonderlijk vriendelijk gedroegen. Een paardenboer leek zelfs euforisch. Beter dan andersom. Andere padgangers waren vergezeld van honden meestal labradors die dikwijls allemans vriend bleken. Zelden vind je hier afval en er zijn zelfs plaatsen in het bos waar je hondenpoep moet worden opgeruimd! Ten noorden van Chilworth kruisen we Martha’s hill waarop een forse kapel pronkt. Het uitzicht is er prachtig.  Het pad buigt naar het noorden en volgt lange tijd de bosrand om uiteindelijk dwars erdoor te gaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sbp97Bo0YMI/AAAAAAAAAaI/H6Axd9IsYxc/s1600-h/20090309+011+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sbp97Bo0YMI/AAAAAAAAAaI/H6Axd9IsYxc/s200/20090309+011+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312697163442315458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Vaak volgt de NDW het oude pelgrimspad maar het zou gevaarlijk zijn ivm het verkeer je strikt aan deze oude voetgangersweg te houden. Na een open terrein (Steer’s field) en de Saint Barnabas pelgrims kerk  verlaten we de NDW  en lopen via een klein pad naar Dorking. Aan de rand van de stad ligt het Weststation vanwaar we terug naar ons verblijf gaan. Het was een heerlijke dag met veel zon.

Het is 9.15. Ik ben snel opgewarmd door de klim naar de NDW. Het pad voert zachtjes afdalend lang een enorme wijngaard met in het midden een boerderij. Echt Frans. Snel nadat ik denk vandaag snel thuis te zijn begint de klim van Box Hill incluis vele treden. Een prima oefening voor de kuiten. De 9 kg in mijn rugzak wegen nu echt door. Het geeft me altijd een beetje vreemd gevoel als na veel zwoegen ik boven aankom en een autoparkeerplaats aantref.  Als ik wat ben bijgekomen slaat dat gevoel om naar een zekere trots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sbp-WicNebI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/UH6U6uNS4mc/s1600-h/20090311+007+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sbp-WicNebI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/UH6U6uNS4mc/s200/20090311+007+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312697636104272306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Er staat inderdaad veel buxus (box) die meerdere meters hoog worden. Er zouden ook ware bomen staan maar die heb ik niet gezien. Ik ploeter voort over het modderige pad en kom sporadisch nog een medewandelaar tegen.  Bij Betchworth kom ik op 1,5 km teer terecht maar loop al snel eenzaam op Poor’s Field langs de rand van het bos. De glooiende heuvels kleuren groen in het voorjaarslicht.   Na 3 uur krijg ik honger en neem me voor om op het eerstvolgende bankje te lunchen. Na 20 minuten bleek die bank bezet door 4 dames en omdat ik ook mijn schoenen wilde luchten trok ik verder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sbp-yReSpmI/AAAAAAAAAaY/F0zrdiO5bew/s1600-h/20090311+013+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sbp-yReSpmI/AAAAAAAAAaY/F0zrdiO5bew/s200/20090311+013+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312698112585934434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tegen Merstham begint de drukke M25 door te klinken en met dit geluid achter me, de vliegtuigen van Gatwick en Heathrow van beide zijden trek ik op een tochtige wei mijn schoenen uit. Alles wat Simone voor me heeft klaargemaakt gaat er in een keer in. Hierna wordt de M25 op een hinderlijke afstand gevolgd tot de passage van het lokale golfclubveld. Even later verlaat ik het pad en ga naar Redhill waar de trein me weer terugbrengt. Het is inmiddels 6 uur na de start.

Als je je door de buschauffeur op het tolplein laat afzetten zie je al snel de rood-witte markering&lt;br /&gt;op een paal plakken. Wij kwamen met de auto en startten om 9.20. Het was droog, koud en er was een dikke laag wolken zorgden voor een uniforme landschapskleur.   Na bijna 4 km asfalt mochten we ruim 700 m over een modderige dijk tussen de minipony’s wandelen. Een verademing.&lt;br /&gt;Vlak voor Nisse werd het aangenamer lopen.   De Oudekamersdijk wordt omzoomd door, vaak versierde, houten paaltjes waarvan elk herinnert aan een kind dat overleden is aan een stofwisselingsziekte. Bijzondere en zeldzame ziekten en een even bijzondere plaats om de overleden kinderen te herdenken.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sa6cwB1dYjI/AAAAAAAAAZg/Up00Fkrkjto/s1600-h/20090218+012+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sa6cwB1dYjI/AAAAAAAAAZg/Up00Fkrkjto/s200/20090218+012+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309353359656706610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ontroerd stapten we Nisse in. De weg die we namen riep herinneringen op aan een logeerpartij bij een van de werkneemster van mijn vader in de 50tiger jaren. Het huisje herkende ik niet meer maar wel de straat.   In Nisse doet men veel voor de toerist die er, gelukkig voor ons, niet lijken te zijn. De zon speelt met onze verwachtingen. Een rondje om het dorp brengt ons in prachtig laagliggend weilandgebied. (N51 27 12.4 E3 50 53.1) en tenslotte belandden we op een van de vele dijken die hier deels onverhard zijn. De regio rond Nisse is een oud gedeelte van Zuid Beveland met een heggenlandschap. De meidoornstruiken zijn legendarisch.   Als we Nisse verlaten lopen we richting ’s Gravenpolder omgeven door zgn nieuw land. De paden zijn geteerd en de omgeving is weinig charmerend. Na bijna 21 km komen we aan de statige en serieuze dijk van de Westerschelde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er is geen wind en het stille water maakt verre vogels dichtbij. Bij Kapelle raakt de LAW bijna de A56 die we hier na 25 km verlaten. Het is nog bijna 3 km naar het NS station. Met de trein en de bus in Goes is er een goede verbinding met het tolplein van de Westerscheldetunnel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand: 25 km. Aanloop: 0 km.

(veel streng protestante jongeren bezoeken er de middelbare school) Ik miste die en ook de daarop volgende. De reisduur met de bus is overigens 1.45 uur. Dus ik nam de auto en startte met de wandeling in Kapelle 40 minuten na vertrek.   De LAW11 loopt op de zeedijk. Het was weer windstil. De watervogels vertrouwen de mens nog steeds niet en vliegen kwetterend weg. Het zal wel aan de hond liggen alhoewel die nauwelijks hoger is als het wintergras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sa6dH28LBNI/AAAAAAAAAZo/h1QhxsNQKfs/s1600-h/20090218+020+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sa6dH28LBNI/AAAAAAAAAZo/h1QhxsNQKfs/s200/20090218+020+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309353769048933586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Er was een sporadische hondenuitlater en wat verderop hengelaars met hun glimmende uitrusting. De vissersparaplu en stretcher hadden ze niet nodig. De vis hen kennelijk ook niet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Je bent als visserman er in ieder geval even uit.&lt;br /&gt;In Hansweert zie je de restanten van de oude sluizen die bewust bewaard worden voor het nageslacht. Even verder gaat het op een verharde weg Kruiningen in. Dit was een van de dorpen die zwaar hebben geleden tijdens de watersnoodramp op 2-2-1953.  Het kleine centrum is een zekere verademing. Een kop koffie smaakt perfect in het gezellige eetcafé in de hoofdstraat.   Het hele pad is verhard en dat vind ik onaangenaam voor mijn voeten (en geest) Er is een mooi stukje wad bij Waarde maar daar mag je niet aan de zeekant over de dijk. Ik baalde dermate dat ik erop gokte dat wetsdienaars  op zaterdagochtend ook verlangen naar een ontspannen weekeinde en zich rustig zouden houden.  De pret is echter snel over en de wandelrichting wordt noord. Naar het dorp Krabbendijke over de hoofdweg. Ik ben blij om bij het station aan te komen. Van hieruit gaat er uurlijks een stoptrein richting Vlissingen.&lt;br /&gt;Voor € 3.00 zit ik in mijn auto.      Waarom de LAW 11 door Zuid-Beveland loopt vind ik een raadsel. Alleen Nisse en omgeving zijn de moeite waard. Bovendien is dit geen grensgebied. Spelen commerciële factoren een rol?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand over GR 19,8 km.

Een stukje LAW dat ik met weinig plezier begon gezien de slechte indrukken die ik van het stuk Kapelle-Krabbendijke heb overgehouden. De bus en treinverbinding naar Krabbendijke is perfect en de LAW ligt ruim 300 ten westen van het station. Dan is de richting noord tot aan de zeedijk (slecht gemarkeerd) en dan loop je hierlangs aan de landkant. Saai. Een tijdje later negeer ik het verbod om op de dijk te lopen en zelfs de hond rent enthousiast heen en weer over het zachte korte gras. Er zijn uitgestrekte schorren en slikken met toch maar weinig zichtbaar wild. De laagwaterlijn is zover weg dat ik die niet kan zien. Het ruikt onaangenaam. (methaan?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sa6d8OWuiZI/AAAAAAAAAZw/C3GKJJtTl6E/s1600-h/20090224+004+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Sa6d8OWuiZI/AAAAAAAAAZw/C3GKJJtTl6E/s200/20090224+004+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309354668687526290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Resten van het haventje van Rilland staan triest in de modder.&lt;br /&gt;Ze houden het amper vol. Na 10 km ga ik het Rijn-Schelde kanaal over en volg snel daarna een parallelweg van de oude Rijksweg. Die wordt 2 maal gekruist en dan kom je in een golvend terrein (opgestoven zand). De markeringen zijn hier perfect. Een lama op een weiland dat omgeven wordt door een erg nat pad doet me nadenken over Darwin.   Na een korte klim op de uitzichttoren van de Kraeyenberg is het richting oost naar de bossen ten oosten van de N56. De paden zijn hier onverhard en het duurt te kort om bij mijn bestemming te komen.   Een heerlijke kop koffie in de jeugdherberg pept me op. Rrood-witte strepen wijzen me de weg naar het station in Bergen op Zoom waar honderden carnavalsvierders richting Roosendaal willen. Er is ieder half uur een trein richting Vlissingen. De bus brengt me verder naar huis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand: 26 km. Aanloop: 300 m.

Zowat alles wat het weer te bieden heeft in deze tijd van het jaar kwam aan bod. Het trok 1 dag alle aandacht en liet geen ruimte te genieten van het natuurschoon. Het lukte de zon af en toe door de wolken te komen.  Het treinspoor eindigt in het Niederlandse Cap Finestere: Hoek van Holland. Hier begint het Zuid-Hollandse stuk van het Noordzeekustpad. Ik verlies al snel de markering maar kom uiteindelijk wel op een&lt;br /&gt;pad achter de duinen. Achteruitkijkend de kranen van de Maasvlakte. Bij een parkeerplaats is het weer mis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZ7_3wd8U8I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/Kd6mS0U2C9g/s1600-h/20090209+001+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 116px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZ7_3wd8U8I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/Kd6mS0U2C9g/s200/20090209+001+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304958744457401282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ik zoek het strand op dat momenteel wegens drijfzand tgv opspuiten verboden terrein is. Dan maar door de duintjes ploeteren. Het pad volgt een dijk met aan de zuidoostzijde immense velden onder glas. Hier en daar de grijze pluimen van ex-aardgas.&lt;br /&gt;Een eind verder (N52 02 07.6 E4 12 39.7) mogen over een lang hondenuitlaatterrein lopen waar 3 Beaufort onvoldoende is om de onaangename geuren te verdrijven. Daarna gaat het richting duinen en lopen we tot het Scheveningen Gemaal in grijze stilte. Het schemert op de Scheveningse boulevard en het strand ligt in het duister. De miezerige regen koelt me aardig af.      Een forse tocht met onaangenaam weer maar op het einde is er een mooie duinomgeving. Iets voor het voor- of najaar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand op GR: 31,1 km&lt;br /&gt;Persoonlijke waardering: **/****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Van Noordwijkerhout tot Katwijk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10-2-9  Een parkeerplaats (N52 16 19.6 E4 28 09.9) aan de Randweg in Noordwijkerhout ligt slechts een paar honderd meter van de LAW502. Al snel na de start begint het wat te regenen en wijs geworden door de jaren wacht ik niet totdat ik al nat ben met mijn poncho aan te doen. De hond lijkt jaloers te kijken. Al snel lopen we door de duinen die je zo in Afrika doen wanen behalve de 3° C natuurlijk. De duinen blijven tot Noordwijk aan Zee ons uitzicht bepalen. Het weer wordt grimmiger met striemende ijskoude wind uit het noorden. Windkracht 8 vertelde de eigenaresse van een restaurant me toen de hond en ik wat op verhaal moesten komen. (we waren nauwelijks opgewarmd van het bezoek aan het filiaal van Blokker) De hond kreeg mijn nootjesreep om geen energietekort op te lopen. Ze was al drijf. Een half uur lang heb ik wat door het bijna matte glas van het restaurant naar het strand zitten staren maar moest uiteindelijk toch door. Het duurde 10 minuten voordat ik mijn poncho weer aanhad. (had ik binnen moeten doen)   Na het passeren van de bebouwing kwam ik weer terecht op het mooie pad door de duinen. De hond liep sneller als er een laaggelegen stuk van het pad in het vooruitzicht was. Hierdoor was ze wat beschut tegen de sneeuw en de wind. Er liepen zowaar nog andere mensen. Na 3 km werden we bijna het dammetje van de uitwateringsluis van Katwijk afgeblazen. Bij de oude vuurtoren leek mij het voor de hond niet verantwoord om nog eens 14 km naar Scheveningen te wandelen en vroeg het thuisfront mij te komen ophalen. De auto was heerlijk warm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand: 11 km&lt;br /&gt;Persoonlijke waardering: **/****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Haarlem naar Noorwijkerhout&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het was de bedoeling om in 4 dagen het LAW502 traject Hoek v Holland naar Haarlem te wandelen maar door het slechte weer moest het stuk door Meyendel worden weggelaten.  Het laatste stuk werd daarom wat langer dan aanvankelijk gepland.  Met de trein in 30 min. van Den Haag NOI naar Haarlem. Om 9.10 stond in midden tussen de reizigers in de stad op zoek naar de Sint Bavo kathedraal. De zon scheen maar nog niet op het plein voor de kerk. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZ79aZ9u2nI/AAAAAAAAAZI/UheWf9M3EjA/s1600-h/20090211+003+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZ79aZ9u2nI/AAAAAAAAAZI/UheWf9M3EjA/s200/20090211+003+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304956041177258610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Helaas was die ook niet open. De oude winkeltjes in het nu rustige centrum van Haarlem zijn mooi onderhouden.&lt;br /&gt;Een plakkaat op de kerkmuur vermeldt dat er veel Vlaamse architectuur is.&lt;br /&gt;Zelfs een Vlaamse wandeling is er uitgezet. Ik volg met moeite de LAW markeringen die ik natuurlijk kwijtraak. Pal west is de te volgen richting en vindt uiteindelijk een lange weg langs een smal kanaal. Dit gaat over in een schelpenpad en leidt uiteindelijk naar de spoorlijn Haarlem Zandvoort waar de duinen beginnen. Ten westen hoor ik de auto’s racen op het racecircuit en in het oosten stijgen de brommende vliegtuigen op van Schiphol. Het pad is hier verhard maar na een klein stukje Zandvoortselaan komen we in de Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen. Wat een prachtig gebied met beboste golvende duinen waar dode bomen gewoon blijven liggen. Er zijn tientalle paden en ondanks de uitgestrektheid (3400 ha) kom ik er nogal wat mensen tegen. Het is er brandschoon met veel prullenbakken bij de bankjes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZ761zjmsuI/AAAAAAAAAZA/eWTyVMQNSAU/s1600-h/20090211+011+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 104px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZ761zjmsuI/AAAAAAAAAZA/eWTyVMQNSAU/s200/20090211+011+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304953213368578786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Wat een plezier hier door heen te wandelen.   Na 27 km kom ik met stijve voeten en een krampend rechter been bij de Langeveldseslag. Bij deze duinovergang zijn enkele café s en een snackbar. De meeste zijn dicht. Een erwtensoep waar de lepel in blijft staan doen de pijntjes om een of andere reden verdwijnen.   Om 15.30 begin ik aan de laatste 5 km van die dag. Nog 1,3 km over het strand en dan weer .....jawel duinen tot de Duindamseslag bij Noordwijkerhout waar een welwillende schoonzoon mij ophaalt.

Ik parkeerde mijn auto bij het station in Beernem en werd tussen een groep schoolkinderen naar Brugge gereden. Het startpunt van de GR129 ligt bij de  de Katelijnestraat. (N51 11 58.6 E3 13 46.1). Na 2,2 km op het fietspad lang het kanaal Gent-Brugge-Oostende gelopen te hebben wordt ik de N60 overgestuurd en kom dan op een onverhard pad omgeven door bomen met berijpte takken. Ze vormen de kanten van een oude spoorwegbedding. Het sprookjesachtige van de omgeving wordt alleen verstoord door een op een energiecentrale lijkend gebouw ten noorden van het pad. Waarschijnlijk voor de energievoorziening van het Sint Lucas ziekenhuis. Maar verder geen klagen want ik loop van de ene verrassing naar de anderen. Vlak na Assenbroek kom ik bij de gelijknamige Meersen met zijn laagliggende bevroren zanderige weilanden en ontelbare knotwilligen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZgsCM8TJxI/AAAAAAAAAYk/G9w7zakG5TU/s1600-h/20090204+008+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZgsCM8TJxI/AAAAAAAAAYk/G9w7zakG5TU/s200/20090204+008+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303036977574258450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Zigzaggend door velden is er een ander juweeltje: de oever van het eerder genoemde kanaal. Govaerts Noord heet het natuurterrein waar je vrij doorheen mag wandelen. De schoonheid lijkt deels te danken aan de eetlust van de ezels die er grazen. Nu waren ze ogenschijnlijk alleen jaloerse getuigen van mijn lunch.  In Beernem kwam ik dicht bij het station waar mijn auto geparkeerd stond maar moest naar het Bulskampveld waar ik een 1,5 jaar geleden een eerste kennismaking met de GR129 had.  Een mooie dag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand op GR:21,9 km. Aanloop 1km.

Vanuit Haamstede (N51 42 52.8  E3 43 50.1) liepen we tussen verlaten vakantiewoningen geruime tijd op geasfalteerde wegen. Het mooiste stuk van de wandeling zijn de duinen die we bij de  Zeepse duinen (N51 41 50.5 E3 44 04.7) introkken. Er grazen tamme zwarte Shetlandpony’s. Een prachtig gebied zeker na de passage van het verlaten centrum van Haamstede.  De zon scheen volop maar geeft nauwelijks warmte deze tijd van het jaar. Bij Westenschouwen werd het duinlandschap ingeruild voor dijk en dam. Maar voordat we de stormachtige snijdende NO wind ons liet kastijden bezochten we een van de restaurants op “de kop” van Westenschouwen. De erwtensoep smaakte voortreffelijk.   &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZSKolVWkyI/AAAAAAAAAYU/PkDhVzXcPqQ/s1600-h/20090201+003+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZSKolVWkyI/AAAAAAAAAYU/PkDhVzXcPqQ/s200/20090201+003+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302015091142988578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Een flink aantal (4) kledinglagen beschermde me effectief tegen de aanvallen van de natuur. Bij Neeltje Jans raakten we bijna de weg kwijt omdat we de markeringen niet opmerkten. We werden daar overigens wel beloond met een onverwacht stuk met zandpannetjes en een kreek. De beschutting ervan was meer dan welkom. Na passage van de sluis ging het recht toe recht aan naar Kamperland.   Het was een gezonde dag.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand op LAW: 23,8 km  Geen aanloop en uitloop.   &lt;br /&gt;Persoonlijke waardering: ***/****&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-2975399256216517053?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/2975399256216517053/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=2975399256216517053' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/2975399256216517053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/2975399256216517053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2009/02/law501-van-renesse-naar-kamperland-1-2.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SZSKKfDJymI/AAAAAAAAAYM/h1Uv3S4J0PA/s72-c/20090201+008+C.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-8412373236643889693</id><published>2009-02-08T15:29:00.015+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-04T16:05:01.004+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>GR122 van Quiervrain naar Bonsecours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hulde aan de NMBS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;    Weer zo’n schitterende dag met vrieskou en een straffe oosten wind. West Henegouwen. Met de trein van Bergen naar Quiérvrain en terug vanuit Peruwelz.

Ik merk dat lopen van -5 tot 12 ºC, een beetje afhankelijk van wind, neerslag en terrein het prettigst voor mij is om te wandelen. Deze dag was dus eigenlijk ideaal. Onze 11 jarige hond met haar 4 seizoenen pels ging mee.&lt;br /&gt;Net over de grens (N50 24 12.9 E3 40 26.6) vonden in noordelijke richting het steegje met aan het einde de gekende markering. We lopen enkele kms langs de Grande Honelle paralel aan de grens en komen door de velden aan bij de E19. De grensovergang daar wordt gemarkeerd door een kerktorenhoog monument dat van ver te zien is. Na de concessie aan het autoverkeer lopen we een tijd op een geasfalteerde weg St.Aybert in. Er is niet veel te beleven . Vlak over het kanaal van Condé naar Pommereoul genieten op een oude boomstam van onze lunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SY71MebdIYI/AAAAAAAAAXk/l5L4oIeEs8A/s1600-h/20090131+032+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 141px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SY71MebdIYI/AAAAAAAAAXk/l5L4oIeEs8A/s200/20090131+032+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300443406137106818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Het lange pad langs het kanaal is een oase van rust maar op het einde is er een motorcrossterrein dat tot vele kms eromheen veel geluidsvervuiling geeft.  Op het Étang Chabauld-Latour  drijven structuurloze vormsels met hier en daar een rokend schoorsteentje omgeven met eendjes die door de golfjes ritmisch bewegen. Ze liggen braaf in een V vorm. Na enige tijd dringt het tot mij door dat het eendenkooien zijn. Een&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; canarderie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                   &lt;br /&gt;                                                      &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SY72Al4n7zI/AAAAAAAAAXs/ffv7ZZRqt90/s1600-h/20090131+025+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/SY72Al4n7zI/AAAAAAAAAXs/ffv7ZZRqt90/s200/20090131+025+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300444301491695410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Condé is een gezellig oud stadje en we worden in een plaatselijk eetcafé uitgebreid voorgelicht over de fantastische tripe. We nemen er frites en een 1,5 cm dikke plak gebakken ham want we moeten per slot nog een eindje. Rond het meer, langs een oude kolenmijnhoop en een prachtig watervogel eldorado (N50 27 41.0 E3 37 24.3)  en op naar de Belgische grens waar een wandelboom de richting van de GR121 en 123 aangeeft. Het laatste stuk is een eenzame wandeling door het grensoverschrijdende bos van Bonsecours.&lt;br /&gt;Vanaf de kerk daar zoeken we naarstig naar de richting Peruwelz want onze trein gaat over 20 minuten. Het is donker als we in Quiérvrain aankomen.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al met al een prachtige wandeling met heel weinig verharde paden en zeer gevarieerd vlak terrein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afstand op GR: 22,7 km.

Voor de aankomst in de Panne telde ik 9 bouwkranen aan de horizon. Het geld lijkt ook hier de grote ondeugd.

A day with mist, clouds and north easterly winds.&lt;br /&gt;I met up with Frans Spronk and at 11.00 we let the winds help us. Nature has beautified the dike connecting Noord-Beveland with the peninsula Walcheren. We walked the dunes, the desolate beach and the dune forest near the village of Oostkapelle. A bit of sun would have made this a perfect hike. Fortunatly rain was not on the menu today and we had a lot to talk about.&lt;br /&gt;We ended the walk with steaming hot coffee in one of the few restaurants which dare to open in wintertime.&lt;br /&gt;Partially due to the weather I took no pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distance 16 km.

This little city, 7 days a week teeming with Belgian tourists, was still a tranquil place at this early hour. We had parked our car near the residence of Rinus &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Meeuwsen. Rinus was a good  friend of my parents and now for one year, enjoys the ambiance of his native town. After a delightful cup of coffee we set of  and followed the town's ramparts from where we had changing views on the city and surroundings. The overcast sky contributed to the Friday morning serenity. 45 minutes passed before we left for the fields but soon we entered the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; very quiet border town called Retranchement.&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Belgian-Dutch border hits the coast at the Zwin nature reserve from where we followed dyke &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;and dune. Enjoying their autumn school holiday many Belgian families had taken over the paths and streets. Many of them were obviously in a good mood. If not so, Frans started a chat which most of the time resulted in a exchange of feeling or even sometimes linguistic knowledge.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;After a lengthy break at a beach restaurant and a long walk over dune tops we completed our tour at the parking lot at the old Breskens-Vlissingen ferry.  A good shower, some wine  and the well prepared diner (Simone)  made us soon feel sleepy.   The night carried sweet dreams.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The next day we walked from Domburg to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Vlissingen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;.

After the lecture in local history we passed a beautiful lake just beyond the dunes. It was full of different species of water birds. From thereon the surroundings of the dunes become more inhabited with humans and in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Vlissingen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; only buildings, cars and restaurants were allowed to stimulated guests brain. After visiting the statue of Michiel de Ruyter we went to the railway station where Frans had his car parked.&lt;br /&gt;In Domburg we parted at 16.40. I arrived home at 17.35.

Frans Spronk had chosen Tuesday  the 16th October 2007 for this event. We parked our cars halfway between Retie and Kasterlee and also at Bladel from where we took off.  After a few hundred meters the typical Peel landscape with its unsurfaced roads made me feel in another world. Or was it a reminiscent moment of the holidays with my aunt at the village of Best in the fifties? The wide sandy paths were lined by pine woods and corn fields.&lt;br /&gt;The temperature was around 12 centigrade with a slight overcast sky. We walked and talked and enjoyed the surroundings. The Peel and Reusels’ heath and its curious  man made 540 m big  “grote cirkel”  are typical for the&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RxygBrZwlTI/AAAAAAAAAII/owZM2wS8c5w/s1600-h/20071017+002+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RxygBrZwlTI/AAAAAAAAAII/owZM2wS8c5w/s200/20071017+002+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124146426731861298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;The E40 motorway and a 1934 signpost  marked the Belgian-Dutch border but the typical sandy and marshy landscape remained the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;  We walked along the marchy wooded borders of a litlle stream near the channel from Antwerpen to Turnhout. For the first time after summer the sun reached the forest floor awakening beautiful  mushrooms and warming old pensioners and the occasional dog.&lt;br /&gt;The almost straight sealed Goorstraat near Retie looked very suitable for car racing youths but this 3 km long road was fairly quiet and Mississippie was not even leashed most of the time.

In Halle bus 155 took us to stop “Destelheide” a mere 5 meters from the GR.  It went uphill right away. After some corn fields we came to a series of lakes called Sept Fontaines.

We touched the “Haller bos” with its straight Dutch named lanes before crossing the busy E25. Hereafter it went in south-westerly direction to Brain le Chateau and from there southwards to Ittre.  A very interesting stretch was the peaceful Potter landscape area where we had to cross a muddy cattle filled meadow.   In Ittre we arrived at a bus stop. The bus driver took us 5 minutes later to Brain le Comte and from here we took the train back to Halle.

We certainly had a lot to talk about since it may well be that our last trip together was more than 5 years ago. Our cars  were parked In Retie and Turnhout resp.    At 10.30, after a mid-morning coffee at the railway station “buffet” , &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Rwz347ZwlNI/AAAAAAAAAHY/i-YLWPZDsYM/s1600-h/20071009+002+OC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Rwz347ZwlNI/AAAAAAAAAHY/i-YLWPZDsYM/s200/20071009+002+OC.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119739433803879634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;we set off in northerly direction. (Retie lies south east of Turnhout!) Soon we entered a nice wood where 3 biologists were counting the living animals in a sample of pool water. They were studying the effect of pollution with nitrates and phosphates and are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;supposed to give a solution for the restoration of this woodland swamp. After 8 km we entered Turnhout again and visited the beautiful and ever so quiet “Begijnhof”  It was already noon and our hunger was stilled with a quick calorie rich bite from a stall. The sun was shining but although we walked in shirts  the temperature was near ideal. From Turnhout we went south crossing the freeway and enjoyed the tranquillity of the many forest paths. The surroundings were less observed than at other trips due to the attention needed to share mutual experiences. We bordered the military domain west of Kasterlee. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Rwz4M7ZwlOI/AAAAAAAAAHg/Wjb6vbtkL8w/s1600-h/20071009+006+OC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Rwz4M7ZwlOI/AAAAAAAAAHg/Wjb6vbtkL8w/s200/20071009+006+OC.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119739777401263330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;These are usually disserted and very quiet.  Here too. The path hit the main road to Kasterlee and went in south easterly direction to Tielen. South of Kasterlee we ran short of water but a  friendly teacher permitted us to get a new supply in her school. After Goor we crossed the Turnhoutse baan and followed the course of the Kleine Nete. By that time we had walked almost 38 km and Retie was not in sight yet. The sun was setting and  18.45 so we decided to go to the main road hoping for a bus to pass. At 19.43 we caught the bus to Retie having walked 41 km by now. Frans wanted a to celebrate this trip with a typical Belgian sin: French fries. Unfortunately, we did not find a “frietkot” and moved on to Turnhout and parted.      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Personal rating: ***  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Distance covered: 41 km. 38 on the GR565&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10;"  lang="EN-GB" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-7759906312568773013?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/7759906312568773013/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=7759906312568773013' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/7759906312568773013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/7759906312568773013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2007/10/sniedersway-from-turnhout-to-retie.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Rwz347ZwlNI/AAAAAAAAAHY/i-YLWPZDsYM/s72-c/20071009+002+OC.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-4253328410503076172</id><published>2007-09-18T20:45:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T03:39:15.484+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;st1:date year="2007" day="16" month="9"&gt;&lt;/st1:date&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;16-17th September 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;My brother got interested in walking 2 consecutieve days  on the Belgian coast.

Early on Sunday we went to Nieuwpoort and immediately after arriving we set off in northerly direction The sky was clear and the 16 degrees Celsius ambient temperature ideal to hike. The paths were dry and did not compromise his low  airy open shoes.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RvAdWa5jo0I/AAAAAAAAAHI/uVCSAWKtqq0/s1600-h/20070914+005+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RvAdWa5jo0I/AAAAAAAAAHI/uVCSAWKtqq0/s200/20070914+005+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111617848080573250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It is flat countryside here and many canals and small rivers drain to the sea. First we went a bit inland and to the south of Middelkerke we walked from here on the boulevard all the way to Oostende. Talks, an agricultural show and people watching in Oostende kept us busy and in no time we were at our destination. After a trasty beer &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RvAdl65jo1I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/gf2ZUZioQqA/s1600-h/20070914+027+OC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RvAdl65jo1I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/gf2ZUZioQqA/s200/20070914+027+OC.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111618114368545618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;we took the beloved coastal tram back to our ladies.   After a good sleep at the “Waaigat” B&amp;amp;B we planned to go down to “De Panne”.  We thought having remembered the starting point from the previous day and took off east along the river IJzer. The grass was wet due to the abundant rain. In fact drizzle alternated with fierce rain during the entire trip.  I noticed after many kms that the distance to our destination increased instead of getting closer to it. We eventually ended up in Diksmuide. It appeared we had taken the wrong GR. Later I learned that there is a GR IJzer from Nieuwpoort to the origin of the river. Anyway, although many roads are paved there was virtually no traffic and walking along the river with its many monuments reminding us of the horrible WW I battle here was pleasant in spite of the rain.

Therefore, on Wednesday 12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; September we took to the soutwestern border of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Brussels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; at Ukkel Kalevoet’s dilapidated railway station. The chip key for the toilets contrasted the absence of basic hygiene but we got at least some privacy. Opposite the east entrance we found the red white markings and a little tunnel brought us to the west side of the station. Also contrasting was that, after a few hundred meters, we came into the woods!!!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;For the coming 1 or 2 km. we stuck to the eastern border of the Zenne lying 500 m down. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Many a small paths ran between or behind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RuuGXK5jozI/AAAAAAAAAHA/m8UP7BlRFz4/s1600-h/20070912+007+C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RuuGXK5jozI/AAAAAAAAAHA/m8UP7BlRFz4/s200/20070912+007+C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110325934802838322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; estates. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;From the dyke along the railway the 2 towers of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;the Beersel castle emerged from the fields. Unfortunatly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;the castle itself was closed between 12.00 and 14.00 so we only could admire it from the outside.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This day the sun was gentle and the temperature perfect. (12-20 degrees). The undulating green hills&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;were still hiding the subtle signs of autumn.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The countryside and the alternation of woods and fields gave a real away from home feeling. Finally, we crossed the Steenweg op Alsemberg at a bus stop but we went to the Gildehuis pub in town and met some retired locals. Simone had no problems understanding them but I had to ask them regularly to repeat a sentence. Obviously we mutually enjoyed each others company. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The bus to Drogenbos took us in 20 minutes back to town.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Distance: 14 km.

The Kempen were said to be sunny with an occasional shower and temperatures around 19C.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I left at 9.30 from Zoersel in southerly direction in bright sunshine. The grass was still wet. The GR marking here were responsible for some extra walking. Gradually the traffic noise from the E34 freeway came closer and when it was loudest I entered a huge forest with straight &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;paths and soon silence returned. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;For nearly 5 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; two horsewomen were the only humans I encountered .&lt;span style=""&gt;  There was p&lt;/span&gt;lenty of time to let one’s thoughts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; sprout freely. After passing Wechelerzande another wood had t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;o be crossed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Rt7RIFpkG4I/AAAAAAAAAG4/aZZsYiyXDA4/s1600-h/20070904+006+OC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/Rt7RIFpkG4I/AAAAAAAAAG4/aZZsYiyXDA4/s200/20070904+006+OC.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106748964370389890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The white-red markings were bright and were so well placed and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; clear t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;hat I thought of making a positive remark about the people looking &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;after them.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Suddenly, ten minutes later or so, near the “Achtzaligheden” tree, I noticed a man with an old-fashioned milk carrier, pruning scissors and a brush disappearing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;behind a shrub.&lt;br /&gt;I met this greying man from Kasterlee who was painting the red-white signs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;and clearing obstructing bushes. Similar interests made &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;talking easy. I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;was happy to have met one of those “angels” who lead me safe to my proposed destination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;With another person along my path , Mr. Swaens, I happen to discuss some matters of Flemish politics. He was very taken by the issue of becoming part of The Netherlands again. His dog took this opportunity to show his love for our little Jack Rusell.&lt;br /&gt;Near Turnhout I walked along the unpaved path on the south side of the channel from Antwerpen to Dessel via Turnhout and so a perfect hike came to an end. I caught the 16.30 bus No 714 back to Zoersel.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Distance 31 km.

The pattern of the trip was build up areas with big houses with electric fences (small houses have barking dogs) alternating with dark woods. About 85% of the track is paved. Just before Halle the markings were so poor that I lost track but after  approx. 4 km I found the yellow/white markings again. At Het Boshuisje one crosses the GR5. The gentle rain turned into a rain burst lasting for 1 hour. My underwear and socks got wet  and the dog was soaked.&lt;br /&gt;I arrived at Zoersel at 16.00 and found.... Simone.  I made the car heater work at full speed and was driven home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distance: 27,5 km. Mixed surroundings.

I am a backcountry lover. This preoccupation was enforced by losing my way in awaking Mechelen. The GR markings were poor, hidden or not at all present. So, when a saw a bus going to Grimbergen&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;just 5 min. after arrival at the railway station I decide to walk from the south to the north. After changing to bus 821 I arrived in full sunshine at the centre of Grimbergen where it was easy to pick up the trail. Off I was. Going north had to be the right direction. After just a few hundred meters the tar road changed into a small unpaved track and soon I entered the undulating corn fields. Almost 70% of this stretch of the GR runs along small paths. This was a real delight. Once at the Zenne near Mechelen I lost track again. The path is running down from the river dyke!&lt;br /&gt;Within the town’s boundaries lies the beautiful provincial domain called Vrijburg park. It provide the needed sun. By now I followed my GPS since being led by the red-white signs was rather frustrating and made me feel like a young dog walking up and down.&lt;br /&gt;Mechelen is a nice town with lots of historical buildings and nice parks. It gave me a feeling of dignity and tranquillity although the town is very close to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Brussels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Under the windscreen of my car I found what looked like an official document nicely wrapped in plastic.

This little clean town in the Kempen has ancient narrow streets, nice church, colourful clock tower and a cosy Begijnhof. The start at 9.30 could not be better. Above that, the sun shone and we had a light breeze. With other words: perfect hiking conditions.&lt;br /&gt;I left town from the south walking along the Nete and hiked through fields and small woods. Many roads were unpaved and some very grassy to Mississippi’s delight. On approaching Mechelen there are many glass houses. The yellow-white GR signs were often at odd places but with some intuition I was lucky not to get too far off track. I entered Mechelen along the Dyle river and hit a main street where I took bus 561 to Lier railway station, walked some distance on the cit wall to my car and at 17.00 off we went to a cool Leffe beer (at home)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I enjoyed this part of the GR12.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total distance: 30 km. Flat. Ratio: crows flight/distance: 2,3.

The weatherman’s forecast became true. Warm and dry. At 10.00 exactly I parked the car at the Sterckshof museum. We (the dog and I) walked up to the Rivierenhof restaurant. Here the GR5a and GR12 cross. The park is quiet but stopping meant being a target for the hungry mosquitos.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The noise of the E313 left up gradually and the green surroundings of Fort 2 was obviously a good place for people making the paths a m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;eans to do some sporting activity. In Wommelgem I almost lost track at the roundabout south of the church. The red-blue marking was hidden in a little alley.

At least that is what I interpreted from their facial expression.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Just byond Emblem I hit the Nete canal and Kleine Nete river and went in, to my surprise, northerly direction.

The first bus on this Sunday left at 9.45 from the railway station at Oudenaarde. It is cool and bright when I start off.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;After leaving the busy main road the GR takes to the fields west of the city. It appears that all Belgians got on their racing bikes to tour this area but only few take the hiking &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;paths. An old man with no bell nor proper brakes gets a near accident with the dog.

The carillon made my lunch after some 10 kms on the banks of the river Scheld&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;a serene event. After crossing town we went east of the railway line down south. I walked mainly surfaced roads but they were extremely quiet. The undulating fields with mainly maize and beets&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;and the interspersed hamlets&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;made me think of the Ardennes. Via the Muziekbos we (me and my dog) arrived at the Kanarieberg where a real Chimay beer made me slightly dizzy but the last part of the track was only 1,5 km and went downhill. I had to wait for 45 min. at the bus stop and felt happy when the dark clouds gradually drove towards Ronse. Bus, train and car took me&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;after 6 hrs back home.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Total distance 24 km.

I went this time alone without Simone nor the dog. I drove to Kruishoutem in Belgium and parked the bike at the to the  crossing of the GR with the N494 drove on to the crossing of the 128 and 129  near Aarsele and started in bright sunshine on concrete roads along numerous houses. The countryside had a quiet atmosphere but there was nothing spectacular to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I arrived after 13,3 km at Kruishoutem and decided to walk on to the place where the GR crosses the N459 just north-east of Oudenaarde. Since 95% of the path was paved I took the bike with me. The landscape changed and became slightly hilly and less built up. We passes a castle and an old dismembered mill. The sun shone relentless and the temperature rose to 29C. I started to run out of water. So I knocked at a door and a friendly person understood my request for the precious fluid. In the mean time I walked 30 km and drank 1 l of water and ate a big apple. I guess that this amount is insufficient. So, another lesson was learnt. Fortunatly after getting the extra supply of water I hit road N 459 and mounted the bike to speeded up to the starting point of my trip. The fierce wind helped me. In Opsele I could not withstand the attraction of a big sing advertising Leffe so I visited a local pub. The rest of the trip went fast and I felt very pleased to get to my car at 16.00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total distance on GR129: 29,3 km&lt;br /&gt;Uphill: 230 m.

At Morlies a bridge crosses another old canal named canal Pommereul-Antoing, a fishersman paradise that finds it origine at the same place as the previously mentioned canal. Both canals follow an easterly direction and the GPS showed that we were moving away from Doornik, our destination. We were on another leg of the GR122 than planned. But Peruwelz has good bus and even train connections so not to worry.&lt;br /&gt;The sun still shone bright and sunburn seemed not unlikely.&lt;br /&gt;The whole trail is extremely quite with an occasional cyclist and no hikers. Just 2 km before the road Peruweltz-Wiers we leave the GR to catch a bus to Antoing and Doornik where we parked the car nearby the railway station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distance: 22 km. Lowest point: 15 m. Highest: 50 m.

Bus 128 brought us to Ninove and the train to Zandbergen. At first we went south with the sun shining in the eyes. The wet surfaces were shiny and the muddy paths took most of our attention. It was a real mix as well in the sense of the scenery as well the trail itself. App. 50% was surfaced and more or less than 20% of the trail was shaded by trees. Although houses were all around us it was remarkle quiet and the sound of tyres speeding on the concrete was seldom heart.&lt;br /&gt;The marked GR stretch was 19,5 km. But from OLV Lombeek to the car took another 5 km.&lt;br /&gt;We climbed  244 m with the highest elevation at 94 m and the lowest 42 m.&lt;br /&gt;Personal grading: **&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-480441693210584485?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/480441693210584485/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=480441693210584485' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/480441693210584485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/480441693210584485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2007/02/thursday-15th-february-2007-after-full.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CCokOOCFZFM/RdXThxmh0lI/AAAAAAAAADI/Vke4y0wPCrg/s72-c/20070215+010+C.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-1800260767043230931</id><published>2007-02-05T10:21:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T03:39:19.714+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;LAW 11 on Saturday 3-2-7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;We had been waiting for sunny days and this Saturday was predicted as such.

Anyway, it look somehow promising. Finding trail markings got a new dimension and was quite fun.

By that time evil smells and noise was greatly diminished and we enjoyed a real forest feel. This part of the trip was great.

On Saturday 12th November the 2 hrl. train brought us in 14 min. from Famioulx to the starting point. The weather forecast was good and sunshine and strong winds accompanied us  when we left Walcourt to enjoy the rolling hills. Many of them still covered in green. The trees are partially devoid of their green foliage.  After  mere 1 km we were stopped to continue our path into the forest because of hunting.  A victory of the appreciation of man's primitive roots. It &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;took us a good 7 km (2 hrs.) to circumvent the woods using concrete roads. nevertheless, the landscape   was beautiful and  hills were followed by wind breaking forests.

It took some serious deduction to guess where to find the GR markings. Eventually we found them east of this little village. The signs where rather poor and the track followed tarmac and concrete roads. Not to our liking. After crossing the main Lommel Hechtel road from east to west we got into a military area and at a distance we heard the shooting. Somewhat further north we joined a newly made concrete road obviously created for cyclists and reached the huge and equally impressive German war &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;cemetery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Lommel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/1600/20061021%20013%20C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/320/20061021%20013%20C.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;39000 Soldiers are buried here. We were told that each cross represents 3 soldiers.

The churchgoers went home and contrasted with our hiking outfit and probably our appearance too.&lt;br /&gt;North it went and soon we entered the pine forest from where drinking water was pumped to dryer areas. It was quiet and the pungent smell of the mushrooms made it more than clear: it was autumn.&lt;br /&gt;After rounding the Zwaluw meer we crossed the main road from Bergen op Zoom to Antwerp and entered the "Staartse heide". My route went into a protected area and passed the foresters home. Not even the noise produced by walking on the gravel that surrounded the house apparently alerted anyone.&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, the paths were hardly trodden and our conscious minds made the trespassers felt a little awkward. Just along the Belgian border we were in non reserved territory.&lt;br /&gt;In 5 hours we covered almost 18 km on this most fantastic day hike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our rating **** (including the forbidden track) otherwise ***&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-116058665104938907?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/116058665104938907/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=116058665104938907' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/116058665104938907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/116058665104938907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2006/10/8-10-6-staartse-heide-it-felt-like.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-115849315297537375</id><published>2006-09-17T13:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-07-10T09:52:58.351+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/1600/20060916%20004%20C.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/320/20060916%20004%20C.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;st1:date year="2006" day="16" month="9"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;16th September 2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:date&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;.

It was a bright sunny Saturday. At 10.45 the bus dropped us in Putte at a stone throw from the Ravenhof, a beautiful castle bathing in the morning sun and surrounded by a medium sized park. The sun still got filtered by some mist. It felt idyllic and was a very relaxing start.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We were the masters of the silence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;We followed the WW1 anti tank ditch while the sun battered our heads at temperatures around 23 degrees Celsius.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The ditch itself was marked with concrete bunkers but the surrounding water was clear and looked full of life. The abundance of trees provided enough shadow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;It was a big contrast with the posh houses with its Belgian and Dutch cars parked on the paved driveways. These houses and the tarred roads formed a background of our trip we definitely did not like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The GR was not well marked on the Franselei so we walked an extra 2 kms. In the forest we fortunately retrieved the track which compensated for our pessimistic mood. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The rest of the trip was fine again and at the castle in Brasschaat we left the GR which runs to Schoten and walked another 5 km to our car at the Donk church bus stop in Ekeren.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;All in all a nice trip on a fantastic September day but unfortunately too much in a build up area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Total distance covered: 28,9 km.

The new junction GR between the 122 and 129 called GR129j  runs over a distance of 51 km south of Mons.&lt;br /&gt;We left the car at Givry, at the connection with the 129, went by bus to Mons and from there by train to Quervain and again by bus to Angreau (2,5 hrs).&lt;br /&gt;To start on the western connection in France at 3,8 km looked too difficult to organize transport to. So we started off around 16.00 in full sunshine and went off to a B&amp;B which happened to be in a little town just short of Athis called Fay le Franc just half a km from the border with France.&lt;br /&gt;The whole route was beautiful, hilly and the Bois l`eveque was a stiff go. Virtual no other hikers (as usual) The slightly hilly countryside provided no difficulties with the &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/1600/20060905%20019%20C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/320/20060905%20019%20C.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;lowest point at 45 m just after Angreau and the highest at km 30 with 160 m. The large fields were partially ploughed while others were still green.&lt;br /&gt;The track passes many small rural villages which forms a nice  variation of the scene.&lt;br /&gt;After a good night sleep the next day was a long one. We did not find a place to spend the night and decided to go back to our car in Givry at 31 km from the starting point.

Mazenzele to Aalst. We took the bus in Aalst to Asse en changed there for another 3 km to Mazenzele. The sleepy busdriver almost forgot to drop us at the right busstop.&lt;br /&gt;Some walking around the place made us find the GR markings. Unfortunatly it does not pass the beautifull Roman chuch and the authentic café. Crossing the main road was enough to enter fields and woods. The latter were more than welcome because the temperature started already to rise at 10.15. We and the dog needed lots of water and we took it before we felt our drying mouth. The hills were slichtly undulating and the road was most of the time unpaved. The markings were reasonable to good and we missed them only twice. This area appeared less build up then south of Aalst. We loved it very much. In Moorsel we had a beer and were still so thirsty that I drank it too fast with some dizziness as an unwanted result. The last stretch followed an old railway track also used by cyclists.&lt;br /&gt;We took 5 hours to cover 16,5 km.&lt;br /&gt;Personal rating: +++&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-114996311809881711?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/114996311809881711/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=114996311809881711' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/114996311809881711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/114996311809881711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2006/06/blistering-hot-saturday-10th-june-2006.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-114986910532348381</id><published>2006-06-09T17:52:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-06-11T11:13:37.506+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/1600/20060605%20007%20C.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/320/20060605%20007%20C.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;GR5a Zandbergen-Aalst&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27 km stiff walking.

Crosses on hilltops are unresistable when you got the right genes switched on. From our hotel room this holy symbol lured us into the high mountains around Real de Catorce (2600m) in the Central Highlands of Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;Of course perfect bright skies.&lt;br /&gt;After passing through the old rooms and courts of the abandoned San Augustin convent we followed a nice donkey path on the grey bare mountain. We only encountered an, some fright provoking, sheppard and a lonely cowboy before we sat alongside the once thought unreachable cross. The serene view on Real was what we got.&lt;br /&gt;A fine day with mild climbing. It took us a couple of hours to go up and 1,5 to go down along a barely marked path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; An easy trip.

The latter we treasure because they contain those important GR trails. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We soon discovered that a large section of the GR561 was transformed into a surfaced road lined by big estates. Anyway, just before reaching Bel, at km 7, the faint red/white stripes were replaced with bright ones as were Simone's mood as well as mine and that of the dog who hates the impersonal large windy metal beasts. &lt;br /&gt;The sky was slightly overcast and the sun didn't manage to warm our heads. We did not encounter anyone who was so brave to face the sun's 4 degrees heating effort. &lt;br /&gt;All in all we enjoyed the 18,5 km easy hike although we did this trip some years ago in much more sunny conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal rating: ***&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-113914500750491443?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/113914500750491443/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=113914500750491443' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/113914500750491443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/113914500750491443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2006/02/pathfinding-made-sport.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-113795698808484231</id><published>2006-01-22T20:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-09-23T20:06:36.623+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sunday 22nd January 2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday off but the sun planned an simular duty. Since Inanda and Arie wanted to visit us we took a stretch of the GR126 from Wetteren to Berlare. From Wetteren railway station it is another 4,5 km to the trail head. Innitially a rather boring track with lots of tarmac and concrete.  After Uitbergen beautiful "moers"and a reasonable surface of the dirt road.  At Berlare we left the GR and crossed the Schelde to go back to our car at the Schoonaarde railway station. Total distance: 21,5 km of which 4,5 km to the start and 2 kase to the parking lot. The dull weather prevented me from taking any pictures. This is not really an good excuse: I probably was just to lazy to unpack my camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal rating: ***&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14936584-113795698808484231?l=roversonthemove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/feeds/113795698808484231/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14936584&amp;postID=113795698808484231' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/113795698808484231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14936584/posts/default/113795698808484231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roversonthemove.blogspot.com/2006/01/sunday-22nd-january-2006-sunday-off.html' title=''/><author><name>ASIRO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772059934467918800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14936584.post-113671610669802208</id><published>2006-01-08T11:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-01-08T19:27:38.993+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/1600/20060107%20005%20C.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7106/1367/320/20060107%20005%20C.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;st1:date year="2006" day="7" month="1"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Saturday 7th January 2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:date&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was the first hike this year. We like to spend as much time in nature as possible. In 10 years our environment will probably have changed a lot.&lt;br /&gt;This time we walked the GR 579 from Bossut to Huldenberg. Simone and I took the Lijn bus number 344 at 10.20 in Huldenberg and arrived 30 minutes later at the familiar bus terminal in Hamme Mille. From there it is a 3 km hike through the fields to the starting point at Bossut village. The once muddy roads were solidly frozen allowing a better pace than at previous walks around here. There was little sun but the abcense of rain made it perfect hiking weather.&lt;br /&gt;The total distance on the GR was 13 km with a variety of plains and woods.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This hike is beautiful but not advisable on a hot summer day.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We enjoyed this trip.&lt;br /&gt;Total trip length: 16,5 km.

Lijn 77 covers the whole distance and delivers a punctual service. The path follows may a time a tarmac road and is often in build up areas. A showpiece of the economical wealth of many Belgians who obviously exchanged beautiful woods for enormous houses with huge gardens where often only a gardener will be seen. I did not enjoy this trip since this was reminding me of developing countries with the well known income gap between rich and poor. Once upon a time.... the countryside must have been stunning with the slow moving river Leie and probably unprotected shores not hidden by homemade piers.&lt;br /&gt;Distance 18 km.

Well marked (at times) and bright sunshine, freshly ploughed undulating fields with a hint of mist in the morning brought us 30 km later to our car.&lt;br /&gt;From the most southerly point of this route, near the railway station in Tileul, we left the GR and followed for a short distance the railway, crossed a field and were friendly asked wether we were "perdu" when we walked a very quiet forest lane leading to a castle. We were equally friendly given permission to cross the estate. Past the railway we followed for a short distancethe main road from Waver to Leuven. App. 7 km on a back road we arrived at Hamme Mille. A tarmac road to the east of Bosut carried the well known red-white bars from our lost GR.&lt;br /&gt;At darkness, tired after the 7 hr trip we  sank into the seats of our Nissan Prairie.&lt;br /&gt;Summary: Fantastic scenery close to Brussels.
