On May 7, Terri drove us north so we could do a nearly 21-kilometer (13-mile) walk through Zuid Kennemerland National Park, where dogs aren’t welcome. It was a lovely walk through forests, with wild garlic as ground covering...
...by lakes, the above one we have hiked and hashed around before...
…and dunes, this one along the North Sea.
We were following a tract that Terri had found on a hiking app, but part of the path was unpassable due to flooding.
Since the path looked drier ahead, I led us cross country, like any good hasher would.
However, we encountered a surprise once we made it back to the main path...
…two swans swimming on the path ahead. Since we were unsure we would actually be able to get around them, we opted to turn back to meet up with the trail at a different point.
Later we spotted more swans swimming...
…and flying.
We also spotted some deer, West Highland cows...
…and fluffy caterpillars...
…that were quite devastating to the hedges.
