Mon., Oct. 27th P's Neeijse Walk

Here is just a sample of some of the mud we encountered on today's walk. It was indeed a bit of a challenge especially navigating farm equipment which seemed to prefer our routes too! Our friend Jane reported later .... "The reason it was so very muddy at Neerijse is because they are redesigning that lake/pond we came across at the end of the walk. i.e. they are lowering the banks and redefining the depth so you have a proper view across it. They've only just started. They are using the earth they take away to fill in another two ponds further into the area. These ponds were not really proper ponds and they want to reinstate the woodland in that area. Hence all that heavy traffic. Just for the record hunting still goes on but not on Sundays. Even if there is hunting you are quite safe as long as you keep to the paths. This info came from my newsletter "Tijdingen" from my club Vrienden van Heverleebos en Meerdaalwoud Oct-Dec-2008". Thanks, Jane!
