Graeme, Holland is a small country so almost anywhere is within
reasonable train distance of most other places. I certainly wouldn't say
it is unfriendly to GA. I have found Midden Zeeland, Hoogeveen, Lelystad
and above all Texel to be very welcoming, and like Bob would very much
recommend the Texel Rally. It is only slightly mad people like Bob H and
those like me who have had a serious fall out with the Belgian
authorities who go straight across 100 miles of N Sea. Everyone else
goes over to Calais or Dunkirk (carefully avoiding the Calais
Nucleaire!) and then along the Belgian coast. As far as I am aware there
is no GA airfield within taxi distance of Amsterdam and I might be
inclined to do serious Amsterdam tourism by Easyjet or whatever and fly
elsewhere in Holland for the pleasure of flyingyour own plane. You may
get more specific advice from our Dutch Europa friends.

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?
