Hey Hugo

> I completed the Camino between St Jean de Pied de Port and Santiago at

> a further 80km or so of the Noaberspad along the German/Dutch border.

Thanks for that -  brilliant stuff. I'm still enamoured with starting in
Sint Jacobi, if only for the name, but I guess all roads lead to Santiago!
And according to De Stichting Jabikspad Fryslan (www.jabikspaad.nl/), it is
the (or maybe an) official Dutch route. As a compromise, I wonder if we
could blaze a trail between Uithuizen and Zwarte Haan, via Lauwersoog and
Pieterburen? A superb part of the world to traipse around in, don't you
agree?

Congrats on your major hikes in Spain and The Netherlands. Impressive stuff,
both parts. The Dollard - I'm intending to have a look around there in
September. You've been inspirational, Hugo.

Cheers, Andrys
