January 25, 2025,Wandeltocht Heiloo (groene pijltjes)

The sun suddenly came out after a morning of rain ☀️
That immediately invites you to put on your walking shoes.
Walked the green route from Heiloo, a varied walk over dikes through the meadows, a bit through Alkmaar and through the Heilooërbos.

Bit of a cold, but now tired of sitting inside. Just a brisk walk. Egmondermeer, Maalwater, Baafjespolder and Heilooërbos. Delicious!

After the work day at home, go outside for a while. A walk along the Hoevervaart, through the Egmondermeer, along the Maalwater and then back home via the Baafjespolder and the Heilooërbos. Delicious!
