What's the best time to be past Antwerpen/Gent? This because of regular/possible traffic jams in the morning.

[ehusmann]

Normally, if you are at Antwerpen before 8 you will not have much problems. However, extra roadworks are going on so you can have jams all the time. Just make sure you stay on the left most lane.

For GPS use 'Zeelaan'.

[Snipes]

So what's best to do? Park the car on base, do some static in the morning and leave the base for the flying program(by foot or with the car). Or is it better to park the car off base, somewhere in Koksijde, and take the pedestrian entrance or is there someone with a better idea. I'm there on thursday and want to take pics, so don't want to face the sun all day...
