On the Monday we left Springendal and headed to Lochem.  As we went through Tubbergen , we found that the stork had visited this house and dropped Lola.

At Lochem we camped at the NTKC Valkenbelt site for two nights.  Here we are in the main field.

What Ceri-Siân liked about the NTKC sites were the little caravans. Here is the caravan of the Kampmeester at Lochem.

The toilet block at the NTKC Valkenbelt site.  It had cold showers when we went in 2002.

On our route from Springendal to Lochem, we followed for most of the way the Twentekanaal.  This is a large canal which is used for a significant amount of commercial traffic. On our easy day at lochem we rode into Zutphen and upon our return we followed the canal back to Lochem.

You get a good idea of the size of the Twentekanaal and the boats that use it, by the barge Saturnus which is in the guillotine lock just to the north of Zutphen.  Note the car on the cabin.
