Eggs and camping...
With half a dozen hard boiled eggs from our host Petra's chickens added to our supplies, we follow undulating farm lanes. The beautiful farm buildings 3 storey high, timber framed and inscribed with the names of ancestors, going back hundreds of years. This is a public holiday, so the roads are quiet, with walkers and a few cyclists. In villages there are groups of lads pulling trolleys full of booze and barbecue equipment. They tell us they are going to the canal to eat, drink then meet with the girls when they have "Dutch" courage. The whole of the day we meet similar parties.
