It's a shame that @StuAff you won't be making the annual Fridays pilgrimage to http://www.rhoongolfcenter.nl/ - one year I went three times. Only once last year but Gordon and Olaf went a couple of times.

I'm with Mark Twain on the subject of golf anyway- a good walk ruined.

Golf doesn't ruin the coffee and excellent apple cake!

Ah, forgot that!

Updated route now featuring 19th hole (or rather to the nearest junction). Should have time enough!

For those who might fancy a bike ride on rest day, I've been running through a few ideas. Here's the latest. A mere 2200ft of climbing in 102 miles!

My thoughts centred on a pootle, followed by a longish lunch possibly accompanied by some wine.
To each his own.

Well, plans aren't that dissimilar...

What hotels are being booked for the Masstrict 2 nighter ?

What hotels are being booked for the Masstrict 2 nighter ?

This won't help you much but several of us have booked out Hotel Le Bonheur a few miles to the south of the town centre. Hopefully others will be along shortly to tell you where they've booked - where you may find there are still rooms available. We're finding availability low and prices high due to Andre Roux's concert dates on the Thursday & Friday. Popular sites to search and book are booking.com and uk.hotels.com/. Good luck!

If you are not yet signed up but want to scope out the options before deciding, please do drop @mmmmartin a line at fridaystour2017@gmail.com. I'm sure he'll be happy to answer questions and discuss options with you.
