The Gooi and Vecht Region (Gooi en Vechtstreek) of North-Holland in the West of the Netherlands was once called the Garden of Amsterdam. It is also a place where a lot of rich and wealthy people are living. It still is mostly popular for cycling through the forests and the heath in the area. The countryside of Het Gooi... is typical Dutch. You will enjoy a cycle tour through woods, heath and moors along lakes discovering small historic towns, and elegant mansions. This area is great for a relaxing bicycle trip and also ideal if you want to learn more about Dutch history.

This is social sailing rather than serious racing
and is held roughly every 3 weeks May thru
September. Sailing usually takes place on a
Sunday on Kaag Island but sometimes instead
on Saturdays on Loosdrecht. We usually round
...off the day with a BBQ beside the lake. The boats
(BMs and Valks) are hired for €60-70 and the cost
shared between 3 or 4 people. See www.britsoc.
