Ruurlo – Doetinchem
The first part of the way is quite nice, especially the beautiful farmhouses. Later we found the path quite boring. It follows country lanes, which are not always quiet and really sandy paths (second half of the route). Make sure you wear no hiking sandals, because the sand can cause blisters. Luckily we wore hiking boots and had no problems. Another nuisance was the motor cross - track close to Halle. It made so much noise that we heard it for a long time.
The closer you come to Doetinchem the more interesting the landscape becomes, due to the ‘Landgoed Slangenburg’ a former castle and its grounds. During our breaks Butch read some interesting articles in the Newscientist, good stuff to share later during the walk and talk about. We saw a fox and lots of swallows.
We know that the rest of the Graafschapspad will be very interesting again, so we are looking forward to tomorrow.
