 | Team Dutch Mountains (THE NETHERLANDS) // Number 26 |
|
 | In 1997, Toine was the captain of the first Dutch team to compete in and finish an Eco-Challenge. The team thinks that navigating will be the most difficult aspect of Eco-Challenge Sabah 2000 because, as Rob Lammers puts it, "You don't need a compass in the Dutch wilderness!"
