I did the round trip Rondje Linschoten again. Along the Hollandse IJssel and the Lange Linschoten there are works on the sheet piling. Sometimes you have to wait a while before you can pass. The Oudewater lock was scheduled to be operable again from April 2025. Unfortunately, the repairs are still not finished. On the south side is a good floating kayak pier. On the north side you have to walk a little further and then get in at a stone quay on the right (not convenient because you can't hold on to anything), or on the left side use a private jetty.
There are new photo's on the site and I drew a new map.
I mentioned earlier that the Blauwe Verbinding between Rotterdam and Barendrecht is completed. I now explored the route from the end near Barendrecht. From here you can make a round trip to the end of the former river Koedood of 13.4 km. The full route to the Zuiderpark in Rotterdam is 2 x 15 km. = 30 km.

A few things have changed along the river Hunze, so it was time for an update. Many of the old meanders are restored and they make the area very nice for a kayak-trip. But the new nature park Tusschenwater is only partly accessible. A round trip on the canal Leiding 2 is only possible if you don't mind to carry the kayak for 1500 meters on the road. A new GPS-track leads you to and fro on the Hunze.
