It's my last evening at #WHY2025 and I'm planning my trip back home to Münster.
For more variety, I will take a different route than on the way here. It is (in theory, not counting detours to reach the spots for camping on the way) only about 9 km longer than the other one, 265 instead of 256 km... so it should be doable in a similar amount of time.

Are you at #WHY2025 and are/have been wearing an "I ❤️ Boobies" T-shirt (or do you know someone who fits this description and can forward this to them)? I have a ChaosPost postcard to deliver to you, where can I find you?
A little bit of confusion right at the end: I had planned my route to end at the place where the pedestrian entrance was marked on the map when I planned it.
Shortly before there, I encountered this sign, and was not sure what to do at first - some cars just ignored the sign and went in anyway, but came back out after a while.
The rest of the distance was a bit more exhausting... a lot of headwind, many roads with paving stones, and it seems that the comfortable bike paths / bike lanes I had gotted used to from the first three days are not so common in this part of the country. I had to ride on actual roads a lot of the time here.
But I still arrived at WHY more than an hour earlier than first expected - thanks to being fast on the dijk and only taking one longer break.

In Enkhuizen, our routes split up again, and after a short waiting time at this confusing part of the path (once I saw other cylists going through there without being confused by the red traffic light with no visible way to switch it), I continued to Bovenkarspel, where I am sitting on a bench in a cute park now, having a little bit of lunch and posting on here ^^
The road for cars is west of the bike path along the whole length, but only in the nothern half they're right next to each other. The noise from the cars was a bit annoying, and in the last third there was a lot of headwind.
Luckily, I was distracted from cursing about the headwind too much, because I met @cybso@osna.social on there, who recognized me and my trailer from my earlier posts in this thread. Hi 👋

Somwhere in the middle there's a beach and some touristy stuff, but once I saw how steep the way to get down to it was, I decided against taking a break there, because I don't think I could have gone back up that slope to the bike path with my trailer.
Instead, I took a short break on the highest point of the bike path, where it switches from being down on the east side of the dijk to the west side... or rather the middle?
