Wapping's Wanders - Ardennes - 29/4-2/5

If we were to follow LBL down to Verdun, I say follow, more like live in hope that we may get there, I have visited the WW1 battlesite on numerous occasions so may be of some assistance if folk wish to see this part of the Great War. Of course this is from a French/German perspective, but did play it's part for the reason for the battle for the somme in 1916.

Cheers.

David.

Why does one need to goto Europe for a Ring when we have the good old A406? Some cracking turns particularly through Bounds Green these days. I'll head down to Essential Rubber just in case...:D

Hello Wapping,

Good work on the routes.
Got the array of routes for the trip loaded into mapsource, apart from the zipped ones,
do we have agreement of which routes we are doing over the trip, or is that all still up for discussion. Hopefully should all fit into the zumo.
