TTT 2005 02 Friesland Zurich Menaldum

Route Summary
Since the beginning of the 1990s, Promotor has been issuing the so-called TankTasTochten. You understand that the name is still from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on inland roads with a road book in the tank bag or routerol.

The 173 ANWB Promoter TankTasTochten (TTT) were scanned by Henry ten Dam and signed by Leon Stolk in Mapsource and later placed as a Track in a .gpx file. These have been made available with the approval of ANWB Promotor via the website of MrGPS so that everyone can enjoy it. The 1st TTT is from 1992, so the route may be slightly different from the original.

I checked all route points and placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have put the start point and end point of the route a bit further apart to avoid navigating directly to the end point and I have added the POI files from the start and end point just like a possible stopping point.

Finally, I created the route for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.

With thanks to Henry, Leon, MrGPS and Promoter.

RouteXpert Review
This TTT starts in Zurich (Friesland) and takes you mainly beautiful narrow roads through the Frisian landscape to Buitenpost where you can stop for lunch at Restaurant Pyramide (The food is delicious!). If you unexpectedly need something for your motorcycle, you can contact Kobutex in Buitenpost. (See link).

After lunch it continues to Wierum *, and then to the terminus in Melandum **
* Wierum is a village in the municipality of Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland located on the Waddenzeezeedijk, which runs around the village in a bend. The village had 360 inhabitants in 2009. The village serves as a starting point for mudflat trips to the Engelsmanplaat. (Source: Wikipedia)

** Menaldum is a village in the municipality of Waadhoeke, the Dutch province of Friesland. It lies west of Leeuwarden, east of Franeker and just north of Dronrijp. Through the village flows the Menaldumervaart, further flow the Botgorre, the Oudevaart, Liemervaart, Steward and the Poelvaart through the village area. (Source: Wikipedia).

Because I have not driven this route (yet) myself, this route gets 3 stars.

Route details:
rp 25 - Lunch possibility at Restaurant Pyramide in Buitenpost. (Top).
The route is created for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users. That has succeeded everywhere except in Animals between waypoints 18 and 19 (Purple), TomTom and Garmin do not agree with each other. No big problem, if you drive alone you just follow the instructions of your GPS, you drive in a group then you follow the front rider. From route point 19 the two will come together again and your GPS will follow the route correctly again.
