After flying solo, meeting some friends and sorting out what
was going where in our bikes and rucksacks I was ready for my twin’s arrival. Starting in Noordwijk along LF1* it wasn't long before we met what was to become
our trip's third companion, wind. The in your face kind. Journeying in and out of the dunes
that run along the North Sea we passed through the beautiful Zuid Kennemerland
(Nature Park) and spotted a fair few animals up close who didn't seem at all fussed by the conditions! Setting up our tent for
the first time proved surprisingly easy and sleep was not an issue, after our
first 60km we needed it. Not a bad start to the adventure...
*LF = Langefiets (ie. the long cycle paths!)
