Training Walk in a National Park...

It took awhile to convince Carlin and Terri to make the one-hour drive to Zuid-Kennemerland National Park outside of Haarlem that I had first learned about on a hash, but it was totally worth the wait.

While I bought a map just to show my support at the wonderful visitor center, it turned out it was a wise investment as we definitely needed it to navigate between the different terrains of the large park.

The first part of the park was a beach with families enjoying the sand and lake.

Above the lake and then beyond it were dunes.
