Lokeren... Wachtebeke... Lokeren

50 kilometers to kayak, 1 campsite scouted, 2 days worth of snacks, meals and beverages prepared, Monster, Pepsi Max, granola bars, you name it. Five minutes before take of: 'Did you bring water?'  ...'Euhm, no, was I supposed to...?'

Fun facts, there aren't that many stores open on a monday morning and most people drink water from the tap these days. So, one hour later, we launched ourselves into the murky waters of the Durme. Next time check checklist!

Despite the lack of anything resembling a current, it didn't take us long to get to our first stop. The Zuidlede is blocked of by a dam here, so naturally we had to take a closer look. After the obligatory foto session we continued our journey. Despite the not so great weather forecasts we enjoyed the windless, rater sunny autumn day on the calm waters of the Durme. Because we had a lot of stamina and daylight to burn, we chose to explore the Stekene channel to.
