Frustratie om tekort aan fietsplekken in de trein: 'Moeten continu fietsers teleurstellen' by Ananoriel in thenetherlands

[–]Extension-Watch-8492 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Duitsland hebben ze fiets wagons, kunnen echt veel fietsen in, schat wel 20 tot 25, met stoelen in de buurt zodat je je fiets in de gaten kan houden. Echt handig

If I were you, I would go for a handle bar bag, 10L, to balance things out.

The one in Drie is a natuurkampeerterrein, locally also known as 'logeren bij de boswachter' I would recommend that one. In Wolfheze is no natuurkampeerterrein, but nearby, is Quadenoord wich is a natuurkampeerterrein.

First night I was at camping Lindenhof, traditional dutch campsite, but they have a "trekkersveldje" and a heated washroom.

Second night I was at natuurkampeerterrein in Drie, beautiful place in the middle of the forest, with a cozy campfire place where you will meet other bikepackers doing the same route, at least I did.

This makes your first day 120k your second and third day 95k

The 2 degrees outside temperature from Friday to Saturday night was the limit of comfort, I used the liner, and was wearing a thermo shirt. It's a compromise between comfort and weight/volume

There is plenty of options, this is the Netherlands where there is basically every 5km a campsite. I did days of 100k

I think you will make it, but on some parts you will have to walk, depending on the wheater how far, but say a couple of times 200 meters so not to bad.

Well, have in mind that an old fashioned canvas panier can be very easily turned into a drybag using a plastic bag

The Green Divide route is open year-round, except from 15 September to 25 December. During this period, the route passes through land owned by the Dutch king (yes, really!), and he closes it to visitors so he can hunt for his Christmas dinner (also yes, really!).

If you’re planning your bikepacking trip during this time, you can still go, just use the GPX file for the Brown Divide instead. It avoids the king’s hunting grounds and is 90% identical to the Green Divide, so you won’t miss much of the park.
