I think it's time we consolidated the plans for our Netherlands excursion. We seem to have morphed into a group who are available for 2 days, and a few who are only able to make the first day. Indeed, I'm not sure who fits into which category, so please do reply with any corrections to the below:
Jiberjaber - 2 days
Psyclist - 2 days
OD - 1 day
Oaky - 2 days ??
Huggy - 2 days ??
bhoot + Dave - 2 days ??
roffa - 1 or 2 days ??
tedshred - 'may be tempted'
Tomsk - 'hasn't said no'
Anybody I've missed?
As for the Saturday route, I was considering reducing the distance to circa 160km to get to a drinking/eating establishment reasonably close to the ferry (e.g. Within 20km) so that those getting the ferry can get back comfortably, while those staying can complete the remaining 40km to get a full 200km in, finishing at a cheap hotel with a watering hole close by.
Then we'll need to sort out an even more relaxed ride for the Sunday.
I'll be back from hols next week so can do some route work then, unless somebody beats me to it
. Roffa's route looks good, but just need to look at refinements and consideration for reducing the loop give ourselves more time without being pressurised by the ferry time ... OD was happy not to do a full 200km, so those staying the extra day can complete the ride using the full time allowed for a DIY 200km.
The plan will be to DIY by GPS. I have a spare Garmin if anybody needs one.
