Dutch/Belgian Border tour Testing the Trailers for Winter - 12/15/2017

[Robert OB 33/48]

As our friend and member of Overland Bound Marco is going on an amazing field trip to the Nord Kapp during Winter, we like to join him on a small section of his trip.
This means that we will join him in Belgium and drive with him the border between Holland and Belgium. This also to test out the Trialers for Winter camping and to test Marco's trailer for track capability.
To make sure that when he leaves on the 18th, the trailer is fully tested and ready for that big trip.
So, maybe you like to say hello and drive up with us for the moment.

Sounds like fun, I would love to join you but it is a busy time of year for me so I will not be able to make this.

My wife and I have traveled the west coast of Norway in the past so we now travel something different. Denmark to Sweden and then up the east coast before going into Finland then Norway.

 

[Joey83]

Cool, maybe I'll join, would like to meet more OB members.

 

[GeoCampers #4771]

I would like to join. I don't know if I can make it on friday but Saturday for sure. Can you give some more detail about the planning?

 

[Scotty lock]

Sadly I can’t make it but hope you have a wonderful trip. So jealous

NorthCape in Winter, done that a few years ago with the Niva (Zuidkaapniva on facebook), Would love to join this preparation trip, but we broke down last weekend ate Furstenau. :-(

have fun,
Bart Voermans

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

Well, still all in preparations, I have to find a Campsite which is open in the winter, and that kind of things.
So, as soon as I have more details, they will pop up here.
But it will be along the Belgium/Dutch border and I think just west of Eindhoven on the friday and east on the saturday.
Saturday evening I will try to have dinner at Marc's BBQ in Uden. But not sure if we can make it.
Like I said, all is in preparation.

More to come.

Assuming I can afford the trip, I could arrive in Westervoort roughly 16 hours after leaving my apartment (and would only require 1 pitstop for fuel), this trip (or any trip to the Netherlands with my car) just became alot more realistic..

If he makes the trip, you could hop in his car and come along as well.

[Robert OB 33/48]

Ok, more details,

First, we are meeting up at the first meeting point, as discribed in Rally Point between 10.00 and 11.00. Will try to leave around 11.00. That is the friday.
Then we will arrive in the evening at the campsite. Not sure what time. That depends on the weather, route (tough or not) and more.
The evening we will spend there and whoever likes to join is very welcome.
The saturday, we are leaving around 10.00 in the morning. And we will end the tour in Uden at Marc's BBQ.
