Alan H said:If you're staying in Putten use the fietsnetwerk to plot a course over the Veluwe (in an arc going towards Apeldoorn and Arnhem) and through the woods to get to Tiel. You'll be riding on small paths, low/no-traffic roads. It might turn out a lot longer than 53km but if you have a good route it will be one of the best, if not the best, day's cycling.
Alan H said:I've biked past that fort many times and never realised it housed a campsite. Glorious cycling territory on both sides of the river.
If you're still looking for a route from Tiel to Gouda, Rich, you could do a lot worse than going via Buren / Culemborg (cross the River Lek in Culemborg) / Oudewater (famous for its witch dunking) and then enter Gouda from the north so that you cycle through the Reeuwijkse Plassen. A lot, lot worse.

rich p said:Cheers, Alan, duly noted. That's the route sorted for that bit.
