\"Canute<\/a>I set of, after my DIN standard breakfast at the b&b which incidentally was a reasonable \u00a327 a night to make my way to Esbjerg and the ferry back to the UK.<\/p>\n

In my naivety I thought the day would mainly be in Denmark and hence I might be able to access a decent mobile network \ud83d\ude42 However, my geography is totally screwed as actually Denmark doesn’t start until way up the peninsula. I have the whole of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany to go through first and it’s dreaded second rate mobile network. This will take a couple of days on a push bike.<\/p>\n

\"Notice<\/a>
Notice The flag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The weather was still very windy in the wrong direction for me. having the wind & noise in your face all day is very dispiriting made somewhat worse that when you stop in a town or village it miraculously disappears. The effect houses have on shelter & I guess one reason we like living huddled up together.<\/p>\n

The seaside town of B\u00fcsum was very busy but I decided to keep going to Husum battling along the dykes and the huge gates controlling the waters of The Eider <\/a>although given the height of the dykes it’s not hard to see that this area will keep getting flooded.<\/p>\n

The last stretch of the day into Husum I finally had the wind behind me although it was on poor quality tracks \ud83d\ude41 . Husum is a very charming small town with many old houses etc. The first hotel was once again full \ud83d\ude41 but the receptionist rang Hotel Hinrichsen<\/a> and found me a room.<\/p>\n

A tough 69 miles biked mainly on the EV12 North Sea Cycle Route <\/a>with most of the journey on Strava here <\/a>and some pics here.<\/a> It looks like I’m going tobe Germany for at least another day before I finally get to Denmark.<\/p>\n
