From Germany to the Netherlands and back again. We cycled past more of the Nettetal ponds, then an old wartime airfield on the border before joining the Maas at Venlo – a place I associate with changing trains. We cycled north beside the river to Arcen and through the Maasduinen – a sandy ridge between the two countries – back into Germany. Here I stopped to photograph a heather nursery, which was quite striking.

And now we are back in Kevelaer.
