Paulette's walk in Overijse on July 30th 2010




Here we were, 9 ladies ready to try a new walk in Overijse. A longer walk than usual (two and a half hours), with some hills and difficult gravel and stony paths in shady sunken lanes but all in all very nice and diverse. We started with a steep hill behind the church that took us into a residential area for an hundred meters. Afterwards, we entered a field followed by little woods along a small creek before climbing towards a breezy plateau covered in wheat and barley fields then went down all the way to the peaceful ponds along the road to Neerijse. On the way we stopped to watch lovely, healthy looking white cows, a black goat with 4 horns(?) while some of us were eating wild blackberries. At the end of the walk, pancakes and coffee in Jesus Eik were more than welcome.
