While staying in Hulshorst, Gelderland at the Droompark Bad Hoophuizen holiday park, we thought it was a great opportunity to make a return visit to Utrecht.

As I mentioned in the first Netherlands 19 post, Harderwijk was the closest city to the holiday park we were staying at, Droompark Bad Hoophuizen. Just a short 8km ride away. Continue reading “Netherlands 19: The route to Harderwijk”
For the first week of our near annual Netherlands trip, we usually try to find somewhere new to visit, where we’ve not been before.

It’s been a while since I’ve done an update on the Metrolink Trafford Park Line (TPL). I’ve generally avoided the area since work started on the TPL, as it’s been such a pain to cycle around there.

Well, what a difference a year makes. This time in 2017 we were in the middle of the highly divisive UA92 and Refreshed Stretford Masterplan consultation. Since then, the 2018 local elections brought a change of executive at Trafford Council, plans for Turn Moss were scrapped and we’ve started to see a different approach from the council in regards to development in Stretford.
