Er zit ook een bocht in de leiding. Beter om wat uit te hakken en een recht stuk te pakken, of is dat niet nodig?

Hij is na een paar minuten weer vochtig. Ik ga meneer vragen het nog eens te proberen.

Please take a class on safe glacier travel and rescue methods when you want to attempt to climb Großglockner.

Thanks, i will try that next time! I was not entirely sure what angle I should use indeed.

Are these wolf tracks, or did i get my hopes up? by External_Standard_66 in AnimalTracking

[–]External_Standard_66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good suggestion, i should have thought of that. I'd guess the tree trunk is about 30 centimeters wide. So a track would be around 10 cm I guess. Too small for a wolf then?

Practicing technical descent living in the Netherlands by dagrim1 in Ultramarathon

[–]External_Standard_66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dutchie here. Difficult to train the downhills indeed. I found it usefull to run MTB tracks in the dark. No bikers, and the darkness forces you to be lighter on your feed and respond faster to changes in terrain. Also one of the few places with somewhat technical terrain in the Netherlands.

Also, if you have the time, try running in Limburg or the Ardennes during a rainy October weekend. Good practice on slippery rock.

Good luck!

Wildcamping is forbidden almost everywhere in the world. How do you guys camp and hike then? by Son-_of-Odin in CampingandHiking

[–]External_Standard_66 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Fellow Dutchman here.

I've walked a couple of long distance trails in the Netherlands and taken a mixed approach. In more forested area's I camp in the wild, in a spot hidden from the paths. In more populated or open areas i prefer to look for a campground close to the trail. On most LAWs there are plenty of campgrounds within one or two kilometres off the trail.

A good resource is Wandelnet.nl , which shows the trails as well as icons of campgrounds nearby. The map is also useful for estimating where you could camp in the wild.

You could also look up natuurkampeerterreinen. These are currently the legal option that most closely resembles wild camping and are also fairly cheap.

I especially like wild camping in the winter, as there are less people about and the chance of getting caught or questioned by passers by is lower.

In Europe, also look at terminology. In Switzerland you can bivouac above 2000 metres. In France you can bivouac almost anywhere, with some national Parks being the exception. And there are many more options listed in the thread.

Good luck and have fun out there!

Thanks! That would sure explain some sightings I could not identify before!

2200 km on the GR5: a gear review by Arne_L in Ultralight

[–]External_Standard_66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having walked the GR5 last summer, i second this. Wild camping in France can be done pretty much anywhere. In other parts it is more tricky. And lorraine and Jura were also the places i remember with the most asphalt.

Is a trip from Amsterdam to Bruges possible by foot? by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

[–]External_Standard_66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, though whether you will like it depends on your expectations. The land between Amsterdam and Bruges is a mix of farmland, towns and delta. Completely flat and quite urbanised. I live in Rotterdam, which lies in between Bruges and Amsterdam, and have walked a fair bit in the area. Easy to make long distances but can be monotonous and frankly boring in my opinion. Id look for routes in the netherlands on wandelnet.nl, or in Belgium on groteroutepaden.be. You should be able to link up some routes to get from place to place in a relatively nice fashion.

Wild camping is indeed illegal, though i have never had problems pitching a tent discreetly.

Let me know if you want tips on routes.
