We made an early stop for coffee and food . This part of southern Netherlands is very nice. Large stretches of woodland and open countryside.

the sun as the afternoon drew on and decided to head for a nearer campsite in the countryside. Google maps came out and we worked our way there. When we eventually found it it wasn&#8217;t really open. It was a new site, places for campervans, but a notice to say the toilets and showers would be there in the autumn. Only a number to ring to stay there with a van.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We had to head off another 8 miles further. But although a really long day it was a good place to camp. Just off the dyke, basically a garden. Slightly old school facilities, but lashings of hot water, a little covered space with a picnic table and totally quiet.\u00a0 \u00a0We liked it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6961\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dreckly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250509_165343317-602x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dreckly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250509_165343317-scaled.jpg 602w, https:\/\/www.dreckly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250509_165343317-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.dreckly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250509_165343317-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.dreckly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250509_165343317-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dreckly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250509_165343317-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/www.dreckly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250509_165343317-1542x2048.jpg 1542w, https:\/\/www.dreckly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250509_165343317-300x398.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 19 Bitterswick to Dieden Miles cycled Day\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a051 Journey\u00a0 \u00a0585 &nbsp; The longest day.
