Route Summary
Ever since the early 90s of the last century, ANWB / Promoter has been setting out the so-called TankTasTocht (TTT). You understand that the name still comes from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on inland roads with a roadbook in the tank bag or router roll. This TTT are touring through the Netherlands with the occasional trip to Belgium, Germany or even Luxembourg, which are driven 6 to 7 times a year. The 1st around March and the last around October. These TTTs have a starting point, a pause location and an end point. It is nice to discover what you have not seen in your own country and which nice roads you did not know before.
This TTT is from 2016, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have further set the starting point and end point of the route a little further apart to prevent navigation to the end point directly and added the POI files of the start and end point, as well as possible pause location (s).
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MRA Navigation users.
Thanks to ANWB / Promoter.

RouteXpert Review
This TTT starts in Roosendaal at the McDonalds, and is mainly about beautiful roads through the Stampersgat and surroundings. This last TTT of 2016 has the end point in Etten-Leur. Laughing at that name, but did you know that Stampersgat was almost called Stoutersgat? In fact, those names were simply used interchangeably. It was because there were two farming families - Stamper and Stouter - who competed for the honor. But everyone agreed that it was a hole!
Oud-Gastel is close to Stampersgat. The question that now immediately arises is of course; but where is Nieuw Gastel then? Yet it is better not to ask this question in West Brabant. Men will look silently at the ground, women will burst into sobs. And certain minorities will go to the police station to report the offense.
New Gastel no longer exists. According to some, it disappeared in the waves of the Sint Elizabeths flood of 1421. Others cite the piercing of the dikes by State troops in 1583 as the cause. In any case, New Gastel disappeared from the menu, perhaps even twice.
After the flood, a reconstruction followed with a strong dyke and a polder. Two families settled here. Stamper and Stouter. Dinteloord is above that, but if we start talking about that, we will not be finished tomorrow. Anyway, this is an area where you will ride the last TTT of 2016. Along forests, meandering streams, moors and motorways. (Text: Promoter 8-2016)
