The snow has disappeared. We made a 20 kilometer walk nearby, through the patches of nature, squeezed between builded areas – the only remains of a vast landscapoe of heather and woodland, from the small town of Huizen, to the former fotress of Naarden, with it’s fortifications still present. Most of thee have been torn down in Napolean times, but since Naarden was part of the line of fortresses around Amsterdam, it has been restored in the 19th century.
Back along a park that once belonged to the estate of Oud Craailo.
A number of images have been taken, and tracks are available in the usual formats: Garmin, generic and CSV.

Loenermark
A walk from the Toer Actief magazine, the January 2010 edition, near Loenen. It starts from a picknick area near the War Cemetary just outside the village of Loenen – which we visited on our cycletour last year on the Veluwezoom. As it turned out, this route had a few stretches we passed by bike that time.
From the booklet map, I marked waypoints on the GPS map, at locations where the route took another direction and we followed these markings – only at the end, we made a small diversion because I misjudged the right direction….
The day started with frost, womewhat misty, but by the day, the haze lifted and some clearences in the sky appeared, letting the sunshine get through. I didn’t bring a camera, because in my imagination, this should be, again, a route to cover some more kilometers. But as the walk progressed, the area became more and more interesting and the weather more bright, so I used the phone camera to keep some impressions. Given the limitations of the equipment, the images aren;t of best quality – but usable (in my view)
As ususal, the tracks are available in Garmin , exchangable and CSV formats. The first also hold the waypoints (if you compare it with the booklet: the numbers do NOT correspond with the notes!). For those that rely on the CSV-files: the waypoints are available in CSV format as well.
Picking up the routine
Due to winterly weather conditions (and other activities not concerning walking or travelling) there has been no walks after Christmas.
In Februari, it was decided we really needed to pick up out scheme of walking at least 20 kilometers each weekend. We started nearby, with two walks set out by volunteers of walker’s groups: Culemborg and Zeist. We’ve done walsk by both groups before, but some time ago.
Since this was merely picking up the speed again, I didn’t bring a camera so you’ll have to do with maps and tracking data:
Culemborg – Beusichem vice versa in Garmin, general and CSV format
Zeist – Rijsenburg vice versa in Garmin, General and CSV format.
