Nijmegen 4 Day Marches - Day 2
Netherlands
Distance 35.4km
Wednesday 16 July 2014
A left turn and we soon crossed a large canal.
We were continuing west with a few twists right and left. The route took us over a main road then turned right through what looked like a small animal petting farm. This was onto a dust track. The route turned right and we were heading towards Wijchen.
As yesterday many local people had moved their chairs and seats, settee's and tables into the street to watch us and the thousands of other people march past. The atmosphere as the day before was good.
As we reached the outskirts of Wijchen the bands were out a left turn then right towards the centre.
A sharp right and we were in the town centre.
Another turn, north this time and we were moving passed more dignitaries, with chains of office saluting and waving as we marched through. Over another main road and we were travelling more north east now through open country towards Beuningen.
We crossed a narrow canal with its lock, flood gates. We were a little over half way now.
At Beunningen we turned right and headed east back towards Nijmegen. A short distance from here we were following the river on the opposite bank to the one we had walked the day before.
We then saw the bridge we had crossed over on day 1, so only a few km to go.
Today we had covered a distance of 35.4km. Then as on day 1 some admin, sort my kit out for tomorrow, a spot of dinner, shower, soak my feet, give my feet a rub for luck and sleep.
