May 28, 2025,Rond Brussel - Prachtig stukje bos nabij Bascule

20250528
17.4 km distance
Around Bascule – Ponds, art and sunlight

Today I walked 17.4 kilometres through a surprisingly quiet and green part of Brussels, near Bascule. A walk of 4 hours and 33 minutes, slow and attentive, with an average pace of 3.8 km/h – just as it should be.

October 31, 2024,BEL 🇧🇪 - Brussels night hiking adventure

More recently I started to open up my night hikes for the general public. Slowly there is a growing community in Brussels who joins me to #getoutside and experience the magic of the darkness to sharpen our senses, experience an urban adventure and connect with others on a more meaningful level 🗺️
