I’m a bit late with my January update for the 100 Mile Fitness Challenge because I came down with a very bad cold (a.k.a. the flu) after my last solo hike at Langbroekerwetering on the 26th. Because of it I have also missed out on two great hikes since then! :(
Still, I exactly achieved my monthly target of 55 kilometers (about 34 miles). I have not added an inch to that since. But I hope to be ‘up and running’ again next week ;)
Things are not always what they seem. What do you think this is? Church? Chapel? Wrong.
It’s Molenstein Folly. It was built as a barn with a dovecot in the tower and is now (presumably) a house. I like follies; I think they’re funny. On my first walk for this challenge in October 2009, I came by Stoop Pavilion. And I’ve also written about Austerlitz Pyramid in relation to Napoleon and a book I read about him: The Little Emperor by Martin Bril.

You know what’s funny? I saw that second picture and automatically thought it was a barn. Then you mentioned “church” and I had to take a closer look. :D I guess I”m just used to barns being in fields or something.
Sorry you’ve had the flu. That really sucks. :(

Really? That’s funny! In Holland (almost) every small village has a church so it is quite common to see one in the fields.
