Hi Devon,
Thanks for all your advise, I'm sure it's going to be a great help for my trip, that route into Amsterdam via canal by N232 and the LF1 seems really good, think that's the way I will go.
I have downloaded the OSMAnd app to my smart phone, I already have a handlebar mount for the phone so can't wait to try it out. There seems to be plenty of choices for camp sites so just get one as I go along for each night.
The tips for using the phone and battery saving are a great help. Thanks again.

Hi Dodger, Thanks for the tips, it's encouraging to hear you did it last year and that it is flat, will have to get someone to show me how to use GPS, not very tech minded.
I will keep an eye on my bike in Amsterdam.
Thanks to everyone for the advise, would like to know if anyone knows where the straight canals SW from Amsterdam to the Hook of Holland, where you meet up with the LF1a and keep to the coast, are, that Atlas mentioned.

Hi Tigerbiten, Thanks for the link just had a read, lots of great information that's sure to help me out. Thanks Again

Thanks for the advise atlas, will look out for that straight canal.

Thanks Devon great help, just what I needed, I had a look at the fietsnet site with the numbers route seems a great idea, also downloaded OSMAnd app to my phone, really starting to feel like it now, you have got me started, Thanks again. I would appreciate anymore ideas from anyone. Thanks.

Hi,
I am new to any sort of forum's so please bear with me, for my 70th Birthday this June I would like to do a little bike tour with not to many hills, I'm trying to plan a ride to Amsterdam, I live in Sussex so would get the train to Dover then the ferry to Dunkirk, ride up through Belgium to Bruges, then on to Sluis, through Zeeland and up to Amsterdam then back down to the Hook of Holland and ferry to Harwich then the train down to London and back home, sounds easy.!!!!! I will be camping to keep costs down.
I would appreciate any advise on routes, maps to take, any "not to mad" but small campsites that anyone could recommend, and any advise on things not to do.
I will prob. take about a week over it so no need to rush.
Thanks in advance of any help.
Regards,
Old n Slow
