Hi! Graeme,
I have regularly attended Texel EHTX it is a holiday island and many Dutch
people go there, but it is a ferry and rail issue to get to Amsterdam.
The most friendly and accommodating airfield I have ever used.
They allow camping during their rally but there is ample accommodation
locally as well as the airport hotel. Bike hire is fine and easy ride to
nearest holiday resorts.
I fly direct from Wickenby and with Norfolk sticking out into the North Sea
theres only about 30 minutes of flight without land in sight . about 1hour
45mnutes total .....I think their rally clashes with the LAA Rally dates
this year but I know where I'm going "!
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG.

Having fulfilled an ambition to get to Ireland, and having changed the
radiator after the small leak (thanks for the suggestions on that), I am now
looking to go east of Calais (FR) preferably somewhere interesting in
Holland. Would be good if would be in reach of Amsterdam or a point of
interest by train or bus. Any suggestions/recommendations? I gather they are
not all that supportive of GA?
Do UK folk or Dutch folk to the straight across route to East England coast
or cross the water at the shortest point? I seem to recall DJC saying he had
some fuel reading issues on a straight across trip.
