Lovely video, inspirational !

Another well presented video, cheers 🚲👍🙂

Thanks for details of towns and accommodation and magic carpet shots from on high.

Excellent Don, thanks for sharing.

Hi, doing this but in reverse as part of a 3000 mile European tour. Was looking at how to get from Rothenburg to the Main Dunelm Canal at Nuremberg and then I see you’ve done just that in your video!!! Could you please let me know which route you took? Many thanks Ed

Another great video Another great video

Great video

Beautiful roads, amazing weather for Wales!

Nice drone clips…. Probably highly illegal since almost all cities, recreation areas, near airports and villages are no fly zones in the Netherlands… (I would say roughly 95% is a no fly zone).

Great ride through the province South Holland. I was born in Gouda and live nearby this town. Sorry the Kermis attractions spoiled the market place around the town hall 😉

Maybe a suggestion for a next trip, even two in fact: Take a route towards the Zeeuwse Eilanden. I think you can dream the route through the dunes from Hook to Katwijk and back. The other suggestion: Instead of following the Rhine, follow the Meuse (Maas). Some parts overlap but it is a different experience. 😊

Nice video, and nice to see you having such a good time. I've noticed that a lot of British cycling vloggers who come to NL don't stray too far from the ferries. There's a lot to enjoy in North and South Holland, but do come a bit further east next time. Try following one or two of the LF Routes (green and white signage). My own favourite is the LF3 Hanzeroute that follows the IJssel river past some lovely historic Hanseatic League cities like Deventer, Hattem and Kampen.

As a Dutchman living in this area of Holland, it's very nice to see the bikepaths from your perspective. Especially the drone shots are very nice!

Great routing! Many familiar places from my rides around Rotterdam

Enjoyed that emensly! I was in the Netherlands in 98 and have not been able to go back. Your very lucky to be able to visit and enjoy that great country. Thanks so much for sharing with us!!

You pronounced Gouda pretty well by the way 🙂

What a very nice video! I'm from the province of Zuid-Holland myself and I think I rode about 90% of these roads and paths you filmed, very much fun to watch! The drone shots really added to the experience! The SS Rotterdam is really a nice addition as well! Saw some nice vintage randonneur bikes by the looks of it. Thanks for this video

Gouda pronounced How-da with a hard H. Almost guttural.

My wife's from the Rozenburg area and we lived there for a short while. So good to see your trip along many of the fiets paths that I have cycled so much. Thanks.

A great video.! For the last 12 years, excluding the Covid period, 8 of us cycle in the Netherlands. We use the DFDS ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam, it’s really North Shields to Ijmuiden. We stay in one hotel, usually a different one every year, for 3 nights and cycle around the area completing about 45 miles a day using the numbered node system. The Fietsknoop app, free of charge, is brilliant… Try it if you have not already downloaded it. Try staying in Woerden at the Van Rossum Hotel, between Gouda and Utrecht and cycling around that area including cycling up the east side of the River Vecht……… Best wishes, Duncan McLean.

Just missing the Grumpy Girls!

Love this video, as usual best cycling video on you tube!

Thanks for sharing. We are riding the same section next year. Looking forward

It’s changing the attitudes and mindsets of the U.K’s population to cyclists and cycling, especially drivers, as well as educating some of the cyclists, like the ones that cycle on footpaths, this week 17th September 2025, there was a spokesperson from Cycling U.K. on BBC Breakfast, she mentioned more cycling infrastructure, one of the presenters John Kaye said U.K’s cities are old and have narrow winding streets, the response should have been to that answer, isn’t Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris as old?

It’s a shame that people, especially drivers do not have any patients with cyclists and others in the U.K.

Just finished the Trawys in reverse solo on a gravel bike, it would be better with a group as the amount of gates to be opened and closed is incredible. Great route challenging when carrying luggage.

Lovely vibes and great narration! You must have had a great time cycling 😉

Enjoyed following your trip guys and glad you're both keeping fit, well and chipper! ❤ Yvonne x

Yet another v good cycling cinematic production by CB Productions. Love the drone footage - what brand & model do you use?

Brilliant Don, thanks for posting.

A great idea for a trip, thanks for sharing. Looks a bit less effort to navigate than the one we did earlier this year down the Atlantic coast of Portugal Oporto-south. But.. that’s another good one for your investigation potentially.

Great trip!

i just don't understand why you are doing this on the most uncomfortable bikes ever built. Just buy an electric traditional transport bike with a 3 gear shift.

You rode past my house in Corris 😊. People have been wondering why hundreds of cyclists are going up through the village and we're finding out about the new route. Brilliant ❤

Je to ostuda 😢takova cyklostezka vyzkoušejte Mělník - Děčín Labskou stezkou ❤

Nice video! Tip, you can make a de-tour. Rozenburg - Ferry - Maassluis -Hoek van Holland and the Coastal bikepath to Den Haag - Wassenaar -Leiden. Verry nice dunes and sea views Keep Paddelinng/ Blijf Trappen

Ace!

Did it a couple of weeks ago. It's changed a little since you did it. Paths are mor overgrown and the Singaling Hut has been broken into and used as a bothy with no front door. Done it on x2 Ragley Marley 29+ Manual bikes. I'd have loved an Ebike up from the Laggan side! that was quite the Hike-a-bike.

Where's part 2 and 3 ?

Traws = Trous as in ‘Trouser’. Eryri = Er-ruh-ri.

No

Theres actually a lot to do in Delft. The old and the new church are worth a visit. Theres the Prinsenhof, which was William the Silents residence, where he was infamously shot dead. Its a museum now. Theres lots of small shops and nice restaurants and cafés. And the university has some pretty interesting stuff, if you can get in. Theres a whole computer museum in the basement of the IT faculty. Lots of great architecture everywhere. And some really nice parks with lakes and beaches you can relax at.

I wish I had friends like this to take up these kinds of trips! So tired of doing them by myself. 😭

What a gorgeous place to ride! Three summers ago my wife and I spent two weeks travelling around the UK by rail and we spent a lot of time up north in the more remote areas. Absolutely magical. Cheers, and thanks for the memories 🙂

Excellent

Great video footage and narrative 🚲🙂👍

One of your party seems to be carrying a lot more kit than the rest of you! Great ride, must give it a go sometime. Was you on the ebike?

Nice video.

Just ace! Cracking weather

Just a very enjoyable video of a lovely trip. Thanks for making it. I cycle a lot, mostly off road and gravel but never in Europe. Could you say a word please about how you planned this trip. The graphics of your route were impressive considering how busy that part of Germany is.
