#1: The Confluence

(visited by David Williams)

22-Aug-2022 -- It has been 10 years since my original visit and I am really, really, early for the ferry home to UK - so its N52E5 again for me.

This might be called the "Ingenieur F.E.D. van Enschede" confluence - the road is named after the chief of the provincial water management service

A straightforward visit - all over in five minutes. Confluence point is in the grass verge just north from a roundabout. No access restrictions but keep an eye out for bikes when stepping back to take a photo.

The Same: Car, sunny day, parking spot, development has not yet reached the confluence point (though it is getting closer, from the East)

Different: Smartphone not camera, google maps not Garmin Satnav, on my own. Lots of flags (I think this is do with the farmer protests currently taking place). I didn't stop at McDonalds. Nearly ripe pears in the nearby orchard.
