I wrote the text below in early 2023. Since then, a lot has changed and I am in bed waiting for an operation on a back hernia.Because of this, the pilgrimage is off for the time being.
I hope to make new plans after surgery. From time to time I will give updates about this on the blog.

April 2023 I expect to roll another part of my pilgrimage, from Rocamadour to Lourdes..
2022 I ended in Rocamadour and this year I want to continue my pilgrimage towards Lourdes via the route “along old roads” (Langs oude wegen).
“Along old roads” is a Dutch cycle route, for me this is more convenient than a walking route, on cycle routes I can get everywhere with my wheelchair.
I am really looking forward to go again, curious about everything I will experience in the coming year.
I’m also enjoying the preparation. Since i’ve been on the road for a number of years (and also use some of the gear during my regular holidays, so even more use to it), some of the gear needs replacing and/or repairing. I already got a new tent for my birthday (the tent poles had broken last year and I could only primitively repair them, also the tent fabric was badly damaged in the accident) and now it’s mainly about small stuff like new speedbinders/spider and checking everything I have in my tool kit. only a few more months to go (I’m writing this at the end of January 2023)
Please, read my preparation and adventures on my blog and sign up for the newsletter if you want to be kept informed.
