I agree with ya Annom, nature is the way to go. Ive been to the Netherlands several times and Amsterdam is cool, but 2 or 3 days is enough. I like the countryside out there anyway, plus the bike trail system is amazing. I rented a bike and just rode around for a full day vearing off to hit some of the mountain bike trails then coming back to the paved stuff for a break. Got quite lost 
I think camping is the way to go no matter where the gathering is cause the vibes of nature go well with hallucinagens as opposed to the hustle and bustle of the city. I ate 35 grams of wet cubes while in the city and wished I was in a forest runnin around like a madman. Maybe thats just me.

And it's of course very easy to meet some shroomerites in Amsterdam a few days before or after the gathering in nature! I'm definitely in for that too.

for sure, Im gonna stop over in Noordwijk too cause I got some friends up that way. I dig that little town, way laid back in comparison to Amsterdam. I still consider Amsterdam my home away from home and would be down for chillin there for a while.

There is some beautiful nature in Holland. "De Waddeneilanden" are a few very beautiful islands. De Waddeneilanden are very special because it's possible to walk to them if it's low tide.

The eastern part of Terschelling is the Bosplaat, a beautiful dune-area. At the beginning of the Bosplaat is an accommodation("De Wierschuur ") for max 70 people:


De Wierschuur costs ?625 per weekend for max 35 people. It's ?6 a night for more than 35 people.
Travel time from Amsterdam is a bit long and will costs some ?'s. 4-5 hours from Amsterdam by train-boat-bus to De Wierschuur and will costs around ?25-40 one way... just estimates...
Texel(other isle) would be better for travel times....

Well, I'm sold, as I'm a camper anyway. I was just thinking of everyone coming from other parts of Europe, But can see that the dutch shroomites might be a little bored of their capitol city.
If we do it in the dutch countryside, it'll give me a chance to source some new chickens.
Basically, I'm easy. any where in europe will do me fine.

I would like a camping 100x better than a crowded place like Amsterdam. I'm sure we can find a nice place

If there are many shroomerites from other parts of Europe planning to come, we could think about Amsterdam or an Amsterdam/nature combo.
Where do you live? Just curious...

btw about that picture you showed us; where are those dunes? I'm sure it's within walking distance since those islands aren't big. 
but the thing I'm worried about is transportation to terschelling, but I'm sure we can figure something out. Good idea!

I think it would be a good idea to decide upon a meeting place in Amsterdam for out of towners. Especially for people like me that are flying over from the states. That way we dont have to try to find the gathering area seperately, inevitably getting lost as all hell. This is of course if anyone besides me is flying over from the states.

So anyone know what the cost of airfare is generally to get over there and back from the US? 
I'm kind of thinking about going now. I guess I'll check expedia, just wanted to give people a heads up that I'm contemplating this.

If there is going to be a really large turnout, which I hope there will be, we might even be able to get a bus to lug us all to the spot. Im not sure how that would work over there though, but its an idea. Or we could all rent bikes HA!

Well Ive gotten over there pretty cheap in the past, under $300, but I dont think it will be that cheap now. I have heard of airlines giving huge discounts if you dont have check in bags. They sell the space to shipping companies and you save. Some may not be able to get a week or more worth of shit in a bag, but it has never been a problem for me. I went to Europe for a mont with only a backpack, and not a backpacking pack, but one I use for school. I'll try to find some info on this for us yanks. I'd be down to fly out there with ya Slven, If i remember correctly your in pensylavania so I could fly out of there with ya if your goin.

The red 8 is the Wierschuur.
(Dutch:) Boschplaat (4400 ha): uitgestrekt duin- en kweldergebied met zoutminnende vegetatie, dat enkele malen per jaar (bij heel hoog water) grotendeels door de zee wordt overstroomd. In het noorden worden de kwelders beschermd door een hoge stuifdijk en het Noordzeestrand. Het gebied heeft al vele jaren een Europese erkenning (Diploma Raad van Europa).
It's just an idea... Travel times to Texel are way shorter and a campsite in Noord-Holland can be as good.

Good idea! That's what I was thinking! I'm always willing to help some people and have some fun with shroomerites in Amsterdam...

Yea definately Beejay, if you're going I'll go over with you.
Packing a week's worth of stuff into a backpack is definately not a problem, any guy that has that kind of problem.. well I won't go there because this is the pub. 
Anyway, all I ask is please don't schedule this the week of the NE Ohio gathering, as that's only a hop skip and jump from me and I plan on being there 100%. 
How far away is this proposed site from down town Amsterdam? I don't have a problem riding a bike as long as it isn't like 20 miles, especially since it would really give me a chance to experience more of your guy's beautiful country. I've never been overseas, EVER!
