First Tour with MB R/C107 Club NL

On Sunday 28 July we have participated in our first tour with the MB R/C107 Club NL.

It was titled 'Van EHSE naar EHGR over land', an approx. 100 km drive from Airport Seppe to Airport Gilze Rijen. During the trip we had several crossings with the Dutch and Belgian border.

As this location is not really next door, we had travelled the day before to Etten-Leur where we stayed overnight in hotel "Het Witte Paard". Not really excited about the hotel rooms (we considered the rooms quite expensive for what they offered), the restaurant was marvellous. A restaurant where you could choose a beer-selection with your menu instead of the common wine-selection!

Unfortunately, the weather conditions were really poor that weekend: up till Friday the weather was all good, and yes starting from Monday the weather was excellent again. So, our car was exposed to a lot of rain :-(

During the night even that much, that our soft top really got saturated with water.

So we started our tour with a very wet soft-top and during the course of the day, the inner lining of the soft top tore off from the metal frame. Ouch!

The tour itself was very nice, although we had difficulties to stay on the track that was prepared for us. Experience counts in this matter ;-)

Some pictures taken (not by us) are available here.
