Apparently I'm in the Netherlands. Sneaked over the border somewhere and didn't notice. Photo is of a British war memorial. Long straight cycling now much if it along the top of dykes.

Cyclist Map

May 11, 2018

The cycle routes are well marked here and every now and again a map like this is provided. Waypoints are given numbers and at each waypoint directions are given to other waypoints, identified by their number. The cycle routes themselves are not numbered (except for the long distance LF routes) just the waypoints. It works well.

The overland route

I've now joined the overland long distance route LF7. I'll be following that for the rest of the day. Makes a change from LF1 the North Sea route.

Delta project barrage

May 07, 2018

This is quite something. For about thirty miles there are barrages likes this and dykes - all build after floods in 1953 devastated nearly 10 percent if the country. Really impressive the way that they have controlled the sea - and access to it by old fishing ports on the other side of the dykes and barrages.
