Corne,

Thanks for the second tour, it was another memorable day, also since I have no video, I have to do with what
I recorded in my mind.. :?

After two times I think its someone else his/her turn.

As I said during the day, I am quite prepared to arrange a tour in autumn, like the first half of october this year.

Most of the participants live far away since its 1,5h from Breda. So before I start planning I need to know how many people are
interested to come at all.

If there are only two or three cars , I would still arrange it, but then it will be more 'ad hoc' . Still I can promise a nice drive as
long as the weather is good.

[ You can also ask me for some nice routes if you just want to scout the area alone, or I can drive some part with you.] .

If none likes to drive so far for the tour, we could do something in Belgium if someone else is a volunteer.

The area that I know very well and where I live now is between Apeldoorn, Amersfoort and Zwolle.
This is the northern part of the "Veluwe" , used to be spelled as "Velouwe" nobody knows for sure what is the origin of the name.

1. This is an example for a hotel. Single rooms are around € 60 , twin rooms € 66 . They have arrangements for two nights with
dinner for two people for € 185,- [ https://www.kasteelessenburgh.com/nl/ ].

2. Another example of a hotel, a bit more south with the possibilities we seek . Single from € 70 , double from € 80.

If one of you has a hotel with which you have good experiences, we could also use that if there is enough interest.

For example, we could meet on saterday around 11 am in the hotel where the ones that want to sleep there the night before are staying.
This can be a hotel more to the south, so the drive from Breda is around 1 h then. From there we can make a trip of about 1,5h and then
we stop for lunch. Second part can also be 1,5h , then we stop for a drink and a snack. From there on we drive to the same hotel , just
an example, and we can all have dinner for the ones that want to. The ones that want to stay that night can do that, or others ,
or none.

There are many -other- hotels or B&B or even campsites. The big advantage of the area is that there are countless hotels and holiday homes,
the area is very touristic. That is why it hs to be after september, since only by then most tourist will have gone, also the
elderly people who spent the period from march to october on a campsite to get away from the small appartments they
normally live.

To give you all an idea :

The landscape varies from the wide open spaces of the river IJssel : https://www.google.com/maps/@52.3500136 ... 312!8i6656

To the forests on the glacial dunes :

..and the lakes around the polders :
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.3959168 ... 312!8i6656

The area within the red lines I am most familiar with..

Hi Dirk, thanks.
Its 'early days' now. I will start preparing for lodging [ if needed] in september. I think most people can not plan ahead 5 months,
to many variables with family/work and such. I hope we have at least 4 cars by then. The routes are no problem : I drive them regularly
so I can just send the recordings from my navigation as a planning tool.

Enjoy summer, I will be back with images adnd video's from our alpine tour from 22 may onwards, weather forgiving..

Dan
