BORDERLINE 2015In previous years I did kayak from the south to the north of Holland..So time to do it by foot as well.
SWEAT AND SOUR trip 2016 - Walking Portugal to HollandTwo times I had to give up in an early stage before finally continue this trip. Meaning I had to walk in a different season than planned. ![]()
RestLess-WalkMore! 2017After the SweatAndSour Trip from Portugal to Holland the urge was coming to tip the North Cape. The trip was demanding with cold and harsh weather conditions. But in not even eleven months and 9000+ kilometer walking, I finished as a Happy Man. Starting in Germany, the trip took me through Denmark, Sweden, the whole coast of Norway. To walk back along the Russian border in Finland, The Baltic States and Poland. Continuing my way west towards Holland. The Demons of the North Cape were over!
CLOSING THE GAP 2018 - RecoverA few days before entering Holland while from Portugal my trailer went down..And ordering spare parts would take me to long. So I went home…. Walking up and down the North Cape I had started at the German/Denmark border in order to have a schedule I would be comfortable with…. So there was a gap to fill: Bonn to Flensburg. A few weeks walking in Germany and the short circuit was solved.
KEEP THE WATER ON YOUR LEFT 2018A winter trip along the Dikes in the north of Holland. No shelter only the Hauling wind to keep me company. ![]()
BAD ROADS GOOD PEOPLE 2019After my WAR, WalkAcrossRussia project was rejected I took an alternative. Walking the hinterlands of Tsjernobyl, the Carpathian mountains to continue along the river Dniester. Five months walking the Ukraine, Moldova and Romania. 4000 kilometer of Bad Roads and Good People. ![]()
