First outing of the year



Decided to enjoy the very fine weather this afternoon for a short blast through the country in ‘t Kreng (my Sprint powered FHC). And due to the current Covid-19 pandemic it was a rather enjoyable drive. We (still?) don’t have a complete lock down here, but there’s a ban on gatherings of more than 2 people. So the usual large herds of walkers and cyclists had to stay home. This resulted in some rather quiet and empty roads, with only a handful of people out and about. Sadly as a result of the Corona crisis all pubs are closed till at least early April, otherwise it would have been even more enjoyable.



Biggest “problem” for the time being (from a driving point of view) is the fact that the border with Germany is more or less closed. So for the time being no access to proper fuel. But compared to the current crisis there are worse things to worry about! Will see how it all develops …




And it looks like I made a mistake when swapping the door lock cylinders at the end of last year. The driver’s door only opens from the inside after some brute force is being applied from inside. Outside door handle works as it should. Something to look into in the coming days or weeks.
