@simplesi13 iv done the north sea from dehaag to texel island took my time some parts are boring! once i got to Campeerduin and onto DEnhelder WOW!! the 2 promenades on zee are nice to bike on!!
@simplesi13 Many, really many routes have information from the ANWB, which tell you the distance you cycled: if you want it more accurate, you can buy a map from the ANWB with only bike-routes and distances in it 😉
https://registration.mylaps.com/afsluitdijk-open/ On the 4th of september 2016 the afsluitdijk Will be closed for all traffic for one day for maintanence for the first time in history. Than there is the opportunity to run the afsluitdike.
motorway on the dikew was at fierst single lane…the other halve was supposed to become rail tracks…but they never build those…probably the war got in the way..
OH THANK YOU ! Never been there nor in Friesland either. Seeing Your video (nice document!) does give the feeling of space and air. Friesland I know from pictures. It has a lot of very old churches dating back to 800 -1100 A.D. Beautiful forests and lakes. And the frisian languages is related to Old-Dutch (and Old-English as well) Still spoken widely in Friesland…..
No mention of the wind, Simon must have had an unusual quiet day. I cycled the Afsluitdijk once, east to west, in a south-western headwind. Quite tough, almost sport, not your regular A to B.

That is the Waddenzee, not the Noordzee.
Leeuwarden [lay-war-dn] there is no loo in leeuwarden lol..
af-sluit-dijk…, sluit –[sl-ow-t], well that get's you in the neighbourhood

Stavoren is not a village, it has city rights, used to have walls etc… was bigger than now in the middle ages..
Enjoyed your vid !
Thank you.
You should google for Lady of Stavoren and Hanseatic League for interesting tales.
I've cycled this exact route many times. Nice that you enjoyed it.
Use Kilometers when describing distances…
The Afflooshdyke :')

Be advised from April 2019 to April 2022 the Afsluitdijk will be closed for cyclists due to a major maintenance and reconstruction project.
I live in the Netherlands, but have not cycled it like you have. How wonderful to see it from your perspective. 🌹
OH THANK YOU !

At this moment (2020] it is not possible to use the bike path till April 2022. You can use a Bicyclebus.
