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.
Tag: Betuwe
Wijk en Aalburg
Today, we walked in an area we’ve never walked before: The polders of “het land van Altena”, the most western of the low lands between the rivers Waal and Maas. This walk is about 25 kilometers, and, different of what we’re used to, not signposted, we had to read the directions from the description this time. In itself, the description was usually very clear, the biggest problem in th village itself was that notifications of street names were either missing, or could only be found when walking on – or back. Once outside the village, there was little that could go wrong – long stretches over and below the Maas dike (on the land side, alas), and over small roads in a flat, agricultural landscape, on tarmac roads (except for an occasional brick road).
We had our stop for refreshments after 15 kilometers, in the village of Genderen, in a village cafe.
Weather: Sunny, some clouds, strong south-westerly wind – at least half the route, we had to walk against it – and a nice temperature, especially when out of the wind, or with the wind in your back.
No images taken – but the tracks are – as ususal – available in Garmin, in generic and .CSV format, as well in pictural format
Geldermalsen
This as another walk set out by a local walking group, this time in the area between Rijn and Waal, from Geldermalsen southward to Neerijnen, following the dike to Waardenburg, directly below the motorway, then back North to Geldermalsen. All in all just over 25 kilometers, in nice weather.
Some pictures were taken, and of course the track can be downloaded in Garmin, GPX and CSV formats
