We are mostly going to camp and hopefully use the nature camping sites but we will use small hotels if the weather is rough. You're recommended to book the friends B&B's at least 24 hours in advance but that should be fine for you. Someone mentioned a value hotel/hostel chain somewhere I saw in here (stay okay) and warm showers might be an option too.
Ps which maps are you going to take? I don't quite trust my gps so I think I'm going to take the Falk maps for my trip too. http://www.stanfords.co.uk/North-Hollan ... 9028724457
I haven't looked into maps yets. I'm hoping it will be fairly straightforward. Do you think these maps are the best. I am hoping we will cycle in holland again so will definately invest. I don't do GPS. I have view ranger on my phone and google maps. I actually used the google map app most when I did the dieppe to paris trip. I definately want a paper map as my phone can't be trusted not to run out of battery!
