It's good for the soul ☺️

Den Helder isn’t just an industrial town, it is our Royal Navy Base, Harbor and Naval Yard and ferry port to the island of Texel.

Well actually Den Helder isnt an Industrial city. The air is clean, actually, one of the most cleanest in the Netherlands

Those dunes are amazing. We also go there once a year. Thx for posting.

Thanks! Beautiful scenery

Sometimes you just forget just how beautiful this little country is. Getting used to the scenery because of, well just life. And seeing it through the eyes of a foreigner is always nice. I hope you really enjoyed it. And lets be honest : when you are from GB you must be used to the weather. And thank god for rain , it's making both of our counties beautifully green, clean and fresh. Just one remark : DO NOT diss our mountains. We are proud of it. ;-)

Glad you liked it ☺️ I had a great time, even with the rain - felt just like home! Noted for next time!

It’s a great way to spend a holiday. The cycling network in the Netherlands is brilliant. Looking forward to your next video.🇮🇪

Very beautiful video, well done. 👍👍The weather was typically Dutch, or should I say British?☺

Thank you ☺️ Haha indeed!

Well mostly you see millions of bikes in cycling videos, now empty roads. Good to show them too.

At 8:00 you are at the world famous Afsluitdijk. Completed in 1925. A 32.5 km long dyke with Waddenzee (sea) to your left, and IJsselmeer (once sea, now lake) on your right. Look how far you can look on a flat earth. Is it 10km or something ? Unsure, but a long distance

Nice cycle tour despite the rain😊

Absolutely! Beautiful country for cycling.

Really funny to come across this video! I live in Heemskerk (the sand dunes you were driving through) Great quality video btw!

Thanks! The sand dunes around there were one of the highlights of the trip, they reminded me of where I'm from in England.

Super fun to watch your video. Keep up the good work

You should have taken the ferry to Texel in Den Helder. I love that island

Good suggestion, maybe next time!

You had the worst weather, such a shame, two weeks later and it is beautifull over here. You cycled through my area, het Bildt and Sint Annaparochie, where Rembrandt got married. It is so pretty here when the sun is shining. Nevertheless, great video

Thanks! Ahh lovely area there, despite losing feeling in my hands and feet around that point with the cold and wet 😂

You were close by In St Annaparochie 👍

Yes! I stopped in the village at a café sheltering from the rain.

Go to the south of the province of Limburg, Heuvelland, and you’ll experience real hills.

Thanks! The sun finally comes out in Part 2 😊

I'm thinking about doing this, did you like the bike rental shop and if so could you provide a name and a link? Did you make your own route or find one online?

Absolutely! I got my tourer from MacBike in Amsterdam. Very friendly. The bike comes with two panniers which is really useful. I planned my routes on Komoot, if you're interested in the GPX files I can share via Instagram (Gcconlon), if you have that send me a DM.

Great video, nice to see you’re enjoying the Netherlands. But you can stop wearing the helmet, we don’t ware them here, only the elderly folks.

Thanks! I know - I'm just so used to cycling in the UK where having a helmet on is sensible but obviously the Dutch cycle/road infrastructure and culture is completely different (and safer).

Not sure if this video is English spoken or not ?

A Brit cycling in the Netherlands on chinese music 😂

It's a nice video, but I'm clueless why people do these kind of things. It's cold, wet en windy. You're in constant physical pain. You have to sleep on a hard ground. In a little tent with slugs! You're diners look extremely unattractive (hardly any vegetables). Some of these places are really nice, but you're not even really visiting them. I don't understand it at all.

Well, what is your idea of vacation? He’s enjoying his tour, gets to visit new places and people, travels relatively cheaply and probably living his dream. Rain, wind and cold builds character.

It's good for the soul. I love being outdoors, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful sunshine or wet and cold. The fulfilment you get from completing challenges like this is what it's all about 😊

Great work Guy! Really enjoyed the video 😄
