Clogs 'n Compass

From Tulip Fields To The Trails

About Clogs 'n Compass

Nerd at heart.

Over the last 16 years I got to play with a few fun electronic gadgets. From Meshtastic to amateur radio. But I also became addicted to find road data when still living in the US to find the roads lesser traveled without paying every year for an app where I would only use a small percentage of the app. Clogs ‘n Compass can be seen as my notebook where I hope that it will be educational and entertaining at the same time!

Difficult roads......

Lead often to beautiful destinations. Life is one big adventure. And adventure will be part of this Blog as well. Day rides on my 2024 Yamaha Tenere 700. Exploring local mountain biking routes. Trying to push myself to ride as much as possible on my gravel bike. And explore throughout Europe or maybe even find my roots back in……… Just pay attention to this website and follow along for the journey. Because: “Not all who wander are lost”.

Why Clogs 'n Compass?

The clogs are a representation being Dutch. The compass – the sense of adventure. Finding new places to explore while documenting things on camera. Will you be traveling along?

The world is big

and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.
