Benelux
Friday 24th October
So… if you didn’t guess, we went to the Benelux countries for a spot of country-topping. Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg’s highpoints completed bringing, along with the UK and Japan, our total to FIVE countries.
The full writeup appears on The Intrepid Micra.
Umm, let me get this right: you went on a trip to visit the high points of some other countries, and yet the countries you visited were “The Low Countries”. Oh well, the only way is up…

So you’re starting with the Low Countries and working down?
Well, there may not be a lot of mountaineering involved, but there are plenty of pleasant places on that list. Enjoy!
