A great ride out today - I love Belgium back roads


The driving was superb, ok, I had a bit of a false start as I set off on the wrong way on the D1 out of Riven, but even that took me along some really great biking roads.  AND, because I had to back -track I had to do those same roads the other way round.    


Its amazing route following the D1 East, and as you can see from my route I detoured a bit when roads looked interesting.
Pulled up at a couple of campsites on the way, but they looked too busy and too full of children, so I continued on towards Luxembourg.  But at around 16:30 I was getting a bit fatigued and the quality of my riding was starting to deteriorate, so I headed off to the next campsite in my general direction East.   What a find, Camping Spineuse Neufchâteau in Belgium.   Now I don't know how many times I have crossed the French/Belgium border, but Belgium is much nicer.   This campsite even has a bar and bistro.    When I checked in I asked if there was somewhere quiet to pitch up and they took me to an area away from everyone else, great.

  1. So, you seem surprised that there should be children at camp sites in Europe during the school summer holidays. I do worry sometimes.
