Compilation video: walk 1 across the Netherlands - Flevoland, Emmeloord to Urk

Do you really know the Netherlands or the Dutch? Are they the happy, liberal party-goers of international renown, or is there a side to them that the outside world rarely sees? In this compilation video of the first of my ten walks across the Netherlands I visit the province of Flevoland, and consider the hidden side of the Netherlands. The walk itself is across reclaimed land from Emmeloord to the (some would say peculiar) fishing town of Urk.

This is a compilation of the four individual short videos that I did from this walk, for anybody who wants it all served up in one big helping. I'll continue to do four short videos from each of the ten walks that I did across the Netherlands, and then wrap them up, one by one, into compilations like this one.

I'm Nicholas Walton, I'm a journalist and author, and this channel is for everybody who likes going for a walk and seeing what it tells you about life, the universe and everything. I've also just published a book on the Netherlands: 'Orange sky, rising water: the remarkable past and uncertain future of the Netherlands', available now. (Previous books are 'Singapore Singapura' and 'Genoa La Superba'.)
