🌅 I walked all night — from sunset to sunrise.
43 kilometers. 13 hours of darkness. No sleep, no shortcuts.
Just me, the North Sea, and a promise to keep walking until the first light touched the horizon.
Starting from Egmond aan Zee, I followed the Dutch coast through endless dunes and wind-swept beaches — alone, guided only by a headlamp and the sound of waves.
What began as a hiking challenge soon became something deeper — a battle between exhaustion, silence, and the pull of dawn.

📸 GEAR I USE
🎥 iPhone 15 Pro Max - amzn.to/3SKEOPR
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage - it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by.
🚁 DJI Mini 4 Pro - amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone - it’s small, compact and provides amazing footage in 4K.
📷 GoPro - amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and video quality.
