Free aire in reasonable town BUT they have a velorail.
I think it was about 7 euros each to cycle on this velorail about 7 or 8 kms and then you get to play Crystal Maze at the other end as you look at your contraption and work out how to turn it round so you can go back. Then you get to play...
Free park where you want with no facilities on an island next to the marina parking on grass aire just very very slightly inside Holland so you can check out which side of the road has the cheapest diesel. Precisely 2 hours to Calais. Natives charge you tourist prices in the bar opposite, but...
Bergues is the town that just keeps giving whenever we attend.
We must have been here 10+ times as it is free, you know you can get in, anytime of night, and disappear in the morning before the neighbours moan about you.
There is no water, no dump and no electricity. It is cinder which can...
Having succesfully navigated our cycle through water, flown through the cycle through the trees and the cycling on some moors (I dont know what they are going to call it yet) as it isnt finished to our knowledge, we found Mechelen as a place they advertised as "walk on water".
Had to go on our...
When we did our 12 days excursion, I found most of the places on this journal over the cold winter months searching the internet for the unusual and came across this blue beer which is made from Algae. Well that is right up my street.
Roubaix, unfortunately, is not a town that is anywhere near...
Bogny sur Meuse - Cracking tarmac aire which was either 4 or 6 euros for the night (cant remember) but dirt cheap. marked out bays with leccy if you want it and the bays were spacious for awnings coming out, right along the Meuse and the cycle path that runs along it.
It was teh same price for...
We cycled out to this one from an aire against a canal and harbour at Leopodsburg for 10 euros a night including leccy and they sold Jupiler at 2.50.
The Berg was at Lommelse Sahara which in the summer would be a swimming lake
The cycling through trees is at Fietsen Door de Bomen. Sahara is...
Just North East of Hasselt is a cycle route where the bridge is inverted so it sinks under the level of the water and you cycle through the lake.
There is an aire which was being built and it looked as though it might cost 10 euros and should be finished at time of writing.
Also there is a...
This church is an 800 m walk slightly uphill from the wide layby on the main road indicated on my map.
As you walk round the church you can see into it at different angles.
In the summer there is a cafe selling ice creams and soft drinks.
Well worthy of a stop and killing 15 minutes just...

Cadenet was in our way on the bike route.
We saw it as we headed to Cucuron yesterday but didn't strike us as a must see, but we stopped anyway.
We may have made a mistake in following signs to the town centre which is at the bottom of the hill. Because the main attraction is at the top of...
Following on from the Carinthia Throughnal the rest of our holiday is no where near Carinthia so I created another throughnal.

Having done a few journals and one "live" one and listened to the feedback that it is more preferential for most to enjoy a thread with interaction rather than page clicking, I am going to try the Thrournal, a thread and journal and better sounding than a Jouread which might make me sound a bit...
Its Throunal time, A thread and a Journal. I write a sort of blog, load it up with photos, write a few words which may or may not assist somebody in the future when planning their holiday. Previous journals are in my signature of each post.
I, possibly because I have done a few, find them quite...
It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
