Introduction:
My hiking experiences will be published here. Please do brace yourself for complete random train of thoughts, often derailing somewhere along the road. Also the occasional rant but mostly questioning the reasoning behind words and expressions.
For sanity reasons I started hiking. To make sense of a nonsensical world. During hikes I often philosophize. Preparations for hiking trips include place name etymology and history of the region. Many questions arose from just walking, trying to clear my head from the cobwebs of life.
My first and second language are not English, so please be respectful and appreciate the quirks or weirdness in use of words or placement. I have lived on the Emerald Isle for quite a while, I was participating in the second Celtic Tiger.
I assume this suffices for warnings and disclaimers. If you are still here, it is your own responsibility.
My location:

My hikes concentrate in the Netherlands and Belgian border region but will fan out across both countries and perhaps beyond.
Work in progress, still ordening my thoughts, experiences, hikes, this site, etc. The links will soon be updated. Photos of my hikes below:
- Grenspark Kalmthoutse Heide hiking trails
- Belgian coastal region hikes and trails (teaser, hikes Belgian coastal region, hidden coastal treasures)
- Brabant Escarpment (Brabantse Wal) hikes and trails
- Themed hiking trails
- Train hikes, list
- TBC
Thanks for your visit! Oh, and please do greet your fellow hikers or put a smile on passerby’s. In nature, on hikes we do not need the “civilized world’s” characteristics and polarization.
