Still enjoying a fine autumn



So far this autumn has turned out to be very fine indeed. And although the maximum temperatures have dropped to around 10°C in the afternoon, it is still rather enjoyable. This meant that the DHC has seen some extra action. The fact that it is rather quiet at work at the moment certainly helped here, enabling me to take a day off from work yesterday and take the DHC for a sunny tour through our lovely province (Limburg), including some short stretches of Belgium and Germany. A few pictures:

One of the many narrow country lanes, the Akerstraat in Mechelen (NL)

Looking over the valley of the river Geul, Reu de Beusdael Sippenaken (B)

Close to the Vrakelbergerweg Elkenrade, also between Wijlre and Ubachsberg (NL)

I managed to add another 425 kilometres to the cars odometer, which brings this year's total to 2785. Not too bad bearing in mind that the car was of the road for most of the summer months!
And with the temperatures forecasted to drop towards freezing, it is pretty safe to say this was the cars last trip before her mandatory (tax induced) three month hibernation. But as the weather forecast also states that the weather will remain fairly fine I hope I can take 't Kreng for one or two tours before the end of the month!

And as you can see in the picture at the top I also found some time for a short local green laning trip through the area with the Land Rover:
