European Tour – The Netherlands 8th to 13th October
October 31, 2018After George and JJ collected the Land Rover from some very helpful mechanics at Terlouw Land Rover they could start the Netherlands leg of the tour which took us to all corners of the country. We made 6 enjoyable stops in Wageningen, Musselkanaal, Eindhoven, Pijnacker, Spakenburg and Ijmuiden. Thank you to all the venues who made us feel so welcome and put on great events.
