..... https://www.rhederoord.nl/en/

Parkweg 19, 6994 CM De Steeg [ T 026 – 49 59 104 ].

--please : Enter the driveway [ max. 30kmh ] and continue to the main building [ castle] &
..park opposite the entrance in a semi circle for a photo moment.

------->>> we leave at 11 am, if you don't manage please go directly to the next location ---

- 11 am.
We leave for the first leg. Driving through the forests and the rolling hills of the Dutch Highlands [ Veluwe ];
This part takes about 100 minutes, but only 80 kms;


- 12.45 h.
We arrive at https://www.kasteelessenburgh.com/ .

Hotel Kasteel de Essenburgh , Zuiderzeestraatweg 199, 3849 AE Hierden [ Telefoon: +31 (0)341 451841 ].

Please turn left before the bridge and park at the parking. Only just before we leave we can arrange the cars
on the forecourt of the castle for a fotoshoot. Parking on the forecourt is not allowed by fire regulations.

You can have just a drink if you are not hungry, please do not bring your own food.

Since the kitchen is not very large they asked me to limit the menu so they don't have to make 15 different dishes;
[ we do not want to sit there for 2 hours I guess] .

For the moment the choices are :

-Van Dobben kroketten met friet á € 9,95 of met brood á € 8,95
Of
-Omelet met gebakken champignons, ui en kruiden met wit/bruin brood naar keus á € 9,25
Of
- Oude Goudse: Boerenlandbrood met oude Goudse kaas, rucola, tomaatjes en kruidendressing ဠ7,95

[ These are examples, most chosen dishes. We can drop one and select another if wanted so, before 29th september ].

- 14.15 h.
We depart for the second leg, now also the last leg . [ The tour has been shortened on request of participants who have
to drive back home the same evening and live quite far away [ Belgium ].

We start along the shore of a polder, driving over a dike in lake IJssel. We head back into the forest and hills of the Veluwe.
This will take about 2 hours. We don't drive fast, mostly country lanes and dense forest. Hopefully it will be not too warm
because then the cyclists will be out in droves and we have to see to get around them..
Finally we turn into the floodplanes of the river IJssel , and along the dike that weaves along the river on its foundations
made by medieval farmers by hand.

- 16.00 h.
We arrive at a brasserie style location : http://www.eettapperijbijsterbosch.nl/contactpagina.php

IJsseldijk 85, 8196 KC Welsum [ Telefoon 0570-561470 ];

We get some drinks and snacks, offered generously by the JLR dealer that has branches all over the Veluwe
[ Apeldoorn, Zwolle and up north, Tynaarloo ], from the Mosselman group. One of their sales agents will join
us there in his own spare time, please be kind to him, as he is our host ! :)

- 17.00 h. ----- The END -----

Who wants can stay at this location for dinner, we don't have to reserve tables as its low season.
 
Hello Daniel, program looks great, we will bring nice weather with us to the Veluwe and a nice bunch of F-types!
Let you know by time what people prefer at lunch.
greetings Corne
 
Hello Corne,

The choice for lunch they can make then & there. What we need to know if these 3 choices cover the wishes;
[ maybe someone prefers another dish ; they can check the normal menu on the site ].

What I would like to know is who wants for coffee/tea at 10am :

- a sandwich [ baguette style, not soft bread ];
- a sweet cake [gebakje] ;
- none ;

This because they make it fresh every morning. If not used they still charge me. They were very kind not to
charge any deposit at all, against their own rules. Maybe the manager is a jaguar afficionado..

As it works now, everybody pays what he/she/it [gender neutral] eats/drinks. But as at 11am it is rush hour
for overnight guest leaving, they asked if we can pay collectively. So I will act as 'collector' and pay at the
reception desk. As the 'grand totall' will be between € 80 - € 200 I can understand them as with around
ten cars it would double the 'desk traffic' .

Greetings,

Daniël
 
Wil iedereen die het NIET via Corne doorgeeft, aangeven wat men om 10am wil ETEN, ik moet wat besteld is betalen !

- niets [alleen iets drinken ];
- broodje ;
- gebakje ;

Vrijdag 4 oktober wil ik het weten , dan moet ik het doorgeven !
 
Nice from the dealership to join our tour and free drinks/snacks.
But all so thank you Daniel for organizing the nice tour today.
Every one was enthousiastic and the follow up should be in Belgium during the Spring.

Hi Corne,

I liked the planning but the HERE maps really upset me. Even after checking it 3 times the mainframe changes
the routes. I think it has to to with how they 'compress' the data and later 'expand' it when used.

The HERE maps are OK for everyday use, but useless for touring and 'off-the-beaten-track' touring.

In two years or so we can do it again in this region, there are many roads that go through it and a tree
looks very different from two different angles.. :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Daniël

PS. Your car is shy : its hiding behind a lamppost.. :lol:
 
Thanks to Dan for the wonderfull route an stops. Great bunch op petrol heads together. And gratitude to dealership Van Mossel ! (my email to say thank you is on its way)
 
Bedankt Dirk, dat zal Jordy leuk vinden !

Waarom spreken we hier Engels als er alleen Nederlands/Vlaams sprekenden dit draadje volgen.. ?

Ik heb overigens gebeld met zowel de politie als de gemeente. Het blijkt dat het bord rechtdoor [ verboden voor al het verkeer],
door een paar aanwonenden 3 km verplaatst is. Die wilden geen auto's door hun straat.
Wij hebben dus niets fout gedaan : géén bekeuringen ! ;)




*If anyone wonders what I write, please PM me..
 
------------NEXT TOUR-----

I was just on the phone with Jordy. He was very inspired by the event. He is planning to arrange a tour in 'De Achterhoek' ,
this is a region in the east of the Netherlands, with very typical landscapes as well. He would like it a lot is also we would
participate with as many F-Types as we can arrange. This is NOT a specific event for the F-Type but a tour for all Jaguars,
new and also the classics !

Who would be interested to come : I will get more details in the next weeks.

nice film Daniel!
And you choose the right music, only makes me a little sad
Driving in last position made an attempt with my Garmin.

Check out YouTube for: F-type Benelux toer Veluwe
and you will love it; f-type zwarte woud
(who needs the Alpes, when you can drive here, only 600 km south of Holland!

enjoy

Corne,

This music is the only music youtube does not block ! I normally just combine scenes including engine noise and 'in-car' music.
But in several EU countries people can not see it.. Anyone can download it and put their own music with it..

I'll have a look for your movies..

I enter the URL here for the others :

Very good ! Now I am even more upset then ever about NOT having the ReRun App on my phone... :cry:

Three questions :
- resolution. Do you put it lower to save memory space , it looks much less then my dashcam ;
- power : is it an option to feed the GoPro from the car with a 12/5V cable ?

Do you have more recordings or were your batteries dead ??
 
Batteries dead indead :(
low framerate to upload but in garminvirb, I can choose pixels,framerate etc.
Takes 15 minutes to upload, everything in maximum quality over 2 hours!

Hi Dirk,

The name is Aukey [ left bottomline in the video ;) ]. This is an older[last year] model dashcam. It can go up to 4K but then
the framerate is too low. So I use it at 1440p with 30FPS. Ideal would be 60 or 120FPS . Now if both we and
oncoming traffic do 80kmph or more, the licenseplates are unreadable ; the relative movement between the
camera and the other car just is too much [ about 1.5m in the duration of one frame 'picture' ]. Sometimes in clear daylight
it is still readable since the shutterspeed is then higher then the framerate [ 1/500].

The Aukey you can only buy in in DE with Amazon [ AUKEY Autokamera 4K 2880x2160P Dashcam € 89 ].

I am thinking of changing to a dualcam, due to an incident one of my daughters had with the BMW ,
or buy a second independent rear camera . This model we have in the BMW.

Police confirmed.

I got a call from the district police officer for the location of the roadworks. We did exactly as was intended.
So nobody has to worry about a fine. The locals had been messing with the signs as I expected.

So we escaped with only some dirt on the cars...
