Myself and Ben got the overnight ferry from Newcastle to Ijmuiden, Netherlands to bike pack the 440km LF Zuiderzee route in 4 days. The additional 2 days were used to explore North Holland on our return to the ferry and cycle to the Quayside for coffee once back in Newcastle! The lack of elevation in The Netherlands made this the most chilled vibes bike packing adventure, no tears were involved!
I hope you enjoy this video. Stay tuned for the next!

Awesome! And you had luck with that amazining weather week. Next time deel free to visit/stay at our place!
Great vid.Do you have a strava link to the route you took.
Well, wasn't that a nice race
I really enjoyed your video! It looked like an excellent route and adventure. Yet another one to add to my list!
Come back anytime.
I don't understand the distances in the video. The miles are always way higher than the kilometers?
Hi guys,
Nice ride. I live alongside the route, so I know many of the places you cycled through.
I also cycled from the ferry in Newcastle to the central station many a time and trust me, it was a whole lot worse in the past.
I hope you've enjoyed your stay…
You go much too fast! Please come again to the Netherlands and take your time to enjoy everything that's here to see.
And btw I'm a 'warmshowers' host. Even cheaper than Vrienden op de fiets …
Beautiful video! The beginning text is not entirely accurate. Zuiderzee was the name when the Afsluitdijk wasn't yet build. After the construction of the Afsluitdijk the water south of the Afsluitdijk is called the IJsselmeer, and the water north of the Afsluitdijk is called the wadden zee. Later the Markerwaarddijk was build and the water south of the Markerwaarddijk is called the Markermeer
06:13 LOL…, as a cyclist on this road you don't have to wait for the traffic light (see sign under the traffic light) cyclists who turn right are allowed to continue
Leuk. Groetjes uit the Naarden.
That was some lovely routing!
Great video, I should be doing this route soon.
Cheers 👍
Hi, I loved your video! Greetings from the USA 🇺🇸
Adventure? Here? In our country? Where? 🤣😂😁
The Netherlands is a great place to ride, in fact some of the best riding in the world! I rode Ronde van Nedeland in May and June on my folding bike. I'd recommend to all riders!!
The Netherlands: the cycling paradise ! I've got to do this route !!
Lovely video, nice to see my country trough your eyes. Next time do the eastern and southern parts, they will offer you a different scenery.
Fab. There is a feelgood quality about your vids that makes me want to ride them all myself.
Great video! Cycled this route from Newcastle in 2017. Coming down the eastern side, i rode along ‘sea’ shore where there is, of course, a lovely cycle path. The whole route was wonderful. Thanks!
Great video looks great cycling in the Netherlands cycle ways all over
