Wat verderop kanoroutes met her en der met genummerde stappen rondom Lisse en Sassenheim.
Maar eerst wat linkjes die helpen gegevens over obstructies en hoogtes van bruggen te vinden:
-
- De Kanovereniging Lisse houdt een lijst van stremmingen bij: [Wayback/Archive] KVL-stremmingen
Stremming van de Ringsloot in Lisse
- [Wayback/Archive] Kano Vereniging Lisse
!!!! De Ringsloot is gestremd !!!!!!
Via het Havenkanaal (Grevelingen) na 2,7 km stremming,
Mallegat en route richting De Kaag NIET bereikbaar.
K = Kanovereniging Lisse
S = Stremming
[Wayback/Archive] ringsloot.jpg (446×419)
Dit stond vanaf juli 2025 op de site. Hopelijk is de stremming inmiddels voorbij. Zo niet, dan zie je rechts waar die is, en verderop welke routes dan allemaal niet mogelijk zijn zonder kano’s met de hand van sloot naar sloot te verplaatsen.
De site linkt naar een vanuit het Fins vertaalde site voor kanotechnieken, maar de echte vertalingen staan nog steeds in de Wayback Machine (dus de [Wayback] linkjes hieronder doen het):
Vertaalde links teruggevonden via deze gearchiveerde pagina uit 2008: [Wayback/Archive] KayakPaddling.net – Animated Sea Kayak Paddling School & Instruction
De Kanovereniging Lisse verhuurt geen kano, maar via [Wayback/Archive] Kanoën tussen de bollenvelden in Lisse en Hillegom – Travel Blondie NL bedacht ik me dat er meerdere verhuurmogelijkheden zijn, waaronder:

In a German thread, Kristian Köhntopp perfectly explained why I too always use light mode, so I put the English translations here:
- Dark mode is a strain on the eyes and useless.
- Specific: In darkness (and in dark mode) your pupils widen, the diaphragm opens. This reduces the depth of field and the eye muscles have to do more work and precision when focusing.
- Conversely, with light and a bright background you have a smaller pupil, a small aperture and more depth of field. This means that everything is automatically sharp, even if the eye has not readjusted.
The German thread:

A lot of people publish unattributed copies of the cartoon “Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.”, so I tried finding it back.
I found out that the Google Image Search has deteriorated to the point where it could not find the 2012 original.
Luckily [Wayback/Archive] Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders. – Google Suche did find the original.
So, without further ado, these are links, the original cartoons by [Wayback/Archive] Tom Toro, first published in The New Yorker:

With World Suicide Prevention Day coming up in less than a week, this is a reminder on how to report on this. Not just important to the media at large, but everyone on social media too.
When you are in The Netherlands:
- Is your life in immediate danger? Call 112 immediately.
- If your life is not in immediate danger but you could still use help, call 113 (standard rate) or 0800-0113 (free of charge) or start an online chat.
When you are outside The Netherlands, find help via these links:
Please read the 1 page large font and visually clear [Wayback/Archive] responsible-reporting-on-suicide.pdf.
The [Wayback/Archive] World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 started with the 2024-2026 triennial theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”, so please please please read the above PDF.
If you cannot view PDF on your computer, you can read it through the picture below, or an on-line PDF viewer in your web-browser through these links:
