Episode 239: Monica Dekker: Timing is Everything

Category
Person-Person

When you think about the Netherlands, you probably call to mind canals, windmills, and shoes. But in the east the nearly 500 kilometer Pieterpad Trail traverses a wide variety of landscapes as it travels from the sea in the north to the hilly terrain of the south. Sometimes referred to as the Dutch Camino, this trail offers a little bit of everything.

Warwick and Stratford Loop

Description

You can run from Warwick to Stratford upon Avon along the canals. Bit of "detour", because first you are taking the Grand Union canal North, passing the Hatton Locks (the 21 locks also known as 'Stairway to Heaven'), going through the Shrewley Tunnel before turning left to the Stratford Canal which is all downhill, but can be muddy at places.

Going out of Stratford the pavement along to A429 was widened in 2024. Some hills at Hatton Rock but soon you are back to a trio of lovely villages of Hampton Lucy, Wasperton and Barford
