    Den Helder isn’t just an industrial town, it is our Royal Navy Base, Harbor and Naval Yard and ferry port to the island of Texel.

      Well actually Den Helder isnt an Industrial city. The air is clean, actually, one of the most cleanest in the Netherlands

    Sometimes you just forget just how beautiful this little country is. Getting used to the scenery because of, well just life. And seeing it through the eyes of a foreigner is always nice. I hope you really enjoyed it. And lets be honest : when you are from GB you must be used to the weather. And thank god for rain , it's making both of our counties beautifully green, clean and fresh. Just one remark : DO NOT diss our mountains. We are proud of it. ;-)

    Very beautiful video, well done. 👍👍The weather was typically Dutch, or should I say British?☺

    Well mostly you see millions of bikes in cycling videos, now empty roads.
    Good to show them too.

    At 8:00 you are at the world famous Afsluitdijk. Completed in 1925. A 32.5 km long dyke with Waddenzee (sea) to your left, and IJsselmeer (once sea, now lake) on your right. Look how far you can look on a flat earth. Is it 10km or something ? Unsure, but a long distance

    Really funny to come across this video! I live in Heemskerk (the sand dunes you were driving through) Great quality video btw!

    • @guyconlon
      @guyconlon  2 дня назад

      Thanks! The sand dunes around there were one of the highlights of the trip, they reminded me of where I'm from in England.

    You should have taken the ferry to Texel in Den Helder. I love that island

    • @guyconlon
      @guyconlon  2 дня назад

      Good suggestion, maybe next time!

    You had the worst weather, such a shame, two weeks later and it is beautifull over here. You cycled through my area, het Bildt and Sint Annaparochie, where Rembrandt got married. It is so pretty here when the sun is shining. Nevertheless, great video

    • @guyconlon
      @guyconlon  6 дней назад +1

      Thanks! Ahh lovely area there, despite losing feeling in my hands and feet around that point with the cold and wet 😂

  • @hanswijnia
    @hanswijnia 2 дня назад

    You were close by In St Annaparochie 👍

    • @guyconlon
      @guyconlon  День назад +1

      Yes! I stopped in the village at a café sheltering from the rain.

    Go to the south of the province of Limburg, Heuvelland, and you’ll experience real hills.

      One to add to my list!

    @christopherrobin101 3 дня назад

    I'm thinking about doing this, did you like the bike rental shop and if so could you provide a name and a link? Did you make your own route or find one online?

    • @guyconlon
      @guyconlon  2 дня назад

      Absolutely! I got my tourer from MacBike in Amsterdam. Very friendly. The bike comes with two panniers which is really useful. I planned my routes on Komoot, if you're interested in the GPX files I can share via Instagram (Gcconlon), if you have that send me a DM.

    Great video, nice to see you’re enjoying the Netherlands. But you can stop wearing the helmet, we don’t ware them here, only the elderly folks.

    • @guyconlon
      @guyconlon  5 дней назад

      Thanks!
      I know - I'm just so used to cycling in the UK where having a helmet on is sensible but obviously the Dutch cycle/road infrastructure and culture is completely different (and safer).

    It's a nice video, but I'm clueless why people do these kind of things. It's cold, wet en windy. You're in constant physical pain. You have to sleep on a hard ground. In a little tent with slugs! You're diners look extremely unattractive (hardly any vegetables). Some of these places are really nice, but you're not even really visiting them. I don't understand it at all.

      Well, what is your idea of vacation? He’s enjoying his tour, gets to visit new places and people, travels relatively cheaply and probably living his dream. Rain, wind and cold builds character.

    • @guyconlon
      @guyconlon  4 дня назад +5

      It's good for the soul. I love being outdoors, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful sunshine or wet and cold. The fulfilment you get from completing challenges like this is what it's all about 😊
