Today we salvaged some of my original route plan and travelled along a pretty countryside route from Balgoij to the East, picking up the LF12 route south of Nijmegen. We then travelled to Nijmegen up the LF12 and stopped for lunch and a look around.

We then reverted to our new mode of navigation and hopped from town to town to reach Arnhem. We reached Arnhem in good time at about 16:30, but unfortunately my route to the B&B on the southern edge of the Hoge Veluwe National Park proved somewhat suboptimal. We arrived at our B&B at about 19:00.

We stopped here for 3 nights as we planned to spend a day visiting the Hoge Veluwe plus a day shopping and sightseeing in and around Arnhem.

We have just returned from a very pleasant hour or so on the beach near Noordwijk, watching the sun go down…

Stayok are a major hostel chain in the Netherlands, and we have been very imrpressed with them. Our first stop is the one at Noordwijk. It was our favourite on the ride last year.

Our first day started off somewhat overcast and rainy, but soon warmed and brightened up. Most of this leg was spent travelling through the sand dunes on the LF1 coastal path amid very attractive scenery.

The dutch grow some strange looking mushrooms. They are large and square looking, and far too tough to eat. I’m not sure how you would get one into a wok to stir fry it either…..
