De Wite(NLD)⇒Kemphaan(NLD)


Today is Thursday, June 21.
The journey is nearing its end.
Currently the date is about 4 days earlier than planned. I will adjust the schedule.

I have two choices whether I try to run as close as possible to Frankfurt, or try to spend a few days at a good campsite.

I have not made a route other than planned route.
Wifi environment is a bit insufficient to read maps, make routes ... and do it. Besides, Street View can not be displayed well.


That's why I will use the train from Utrecht to Frankfurt.

Until the day I get on the train at Utrecht, I spend the day at a nearby campsite.

In the campsite yesterday I placed 10 euros as a deposit,so I got it at 8 o'clock and departed.

It is about 3 to 5 meters lower than the sea.

Cargo bicycles are truly common.
Since the car height is low and it is a three wheel, so there is no worry of falling.
It is also sold in Japan and can be ridden in Japan.

However, it is difficult to run because it is not treated as a bicycle under the Road Act.

Anyways Japan has very few practical bicycle exclusive roads, except the bicycle path for river leisure.

This area is about 3 m - 5 m lower than the sea.

I run about 3 m to 5 m lower than the sea.
The scholars warn that global warming will raise the water level of the sea including the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to a critical level and a part of the coastal area will sink below the water surface. Because global warming is progressing rapidly, flooding can occur every year.
Many of the European countries are alarming that scholars should start even today because technically they are not ready for catastrophic disasters due to climate change. At this stage only the Netherlands can protect water rise.

No matter where I run, I do not see utility poles, power transmission lines.

No matter where I run, I do not see utility poles, power transmission lines.
I have been running in urban areas and suburbs of Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, but finding utility poles was difficult.
Now I am here.
How much is lower than the sea? It is like this.
…Below the sea level.
What surrounded the shallow land and drew out seawater and built a reclaimed land is called a POLDER. About a quarter is below the sea level.
1045
I am running a low place far below the ocean.
If there is no levee here it is under the sea.

There was a boy in the Netherlands, one evening, when he was walking near the embankment, he found a hole in the levee. He thought "If it is left as it is, the country will sink into the sea."
There was nothing to close the hole, the boy pushed his finger into it, and stopped the seawater. The season was winter. No one passed through that night that night. The next morning,The figure of that frozen dead boy was discovered.He dedicated his life to defending the country.
The story of "The Hero of Haarlem" introduced in this "The Silver Skates" is the creation of the author.
American writer Mary Mapes Dodge (1831-1905) was interested in the Netherlands and started teaching to the two children by teaching the history and geography of the Netherlands as well as incorporating family life into stories. That is the beginning of this book.
Until now, I firmly believed that this story is a true story.

Again, this is about 3 to 5 meters lower than the sea.

This place is also about 3 m - 5 m lower than the sea. Since Aisel lake is about 6 m under the sea level, it is regarded as about the same as Aisel lake.

I am running over such a large bank in this way. The lake on the right, the forest and the farm on the left. It is lower on the left, but I can not understand by just seeing it with my eyes. I can find out by examining the elevation on the map. The surface of the lake is 0 m, and the farmland is displayed as -5 m.
Arrival at Kemphaan campground

The receptionist 's lady who is also an owner is kind and is good.
She was looking around the camp site alone. She cleaned the toilet and specified the location of the camper. She was busy.
When the sky became cloudy and sudden rain, she invited me to say, "When it is rain, the tent is not comfortable, so please kill time at the office."
