Thanks in advance

I was in Texel last weekend. Be prepared for higher landing fees at weekends and avgas at about 2.2 Euros/litre. It may help if you're prepared with reporting points, but not essential.
Dutch Mil and Amsterdam generally provide a very good FIS.
Texel is a very nice airfield and your aircraft will be on their web-site the next day. Generally very straightforward in the Netherlands.
Most like you to use the standard join at 700' AGL halfway down the downwind leg (from outside of the circuit).
Hope you have a good trip.
