Just a short report and a few pics from an excellent Easter weekend in Belgium.
Myself and Mark 71 travelled down from Essex on the friday morning. Despite the poor forecast weather was bright and breezy in Dover.
Channel crossing was choppy.
We got to Ronse in good time and set up shop before the rain arrived.
People where arriving at a steady pace.
We then absconded to the bar for soup and lots of beers.
The English speaking table was the place to be.
Friday night poured with rain but come Saturday morning the sun put in an appearance.
After breakfast it was off to join the gentle off road ride.
Others looked like they had fun too.
The Germans got stuck in the mud.
Their tackle faired better.
We hit the bar again Saturday night.
Due to work on Monday so we had to leave Sunday morning
We where joined by Hamish (from London) and decided to go via Ypres and the Tyne Cot cemetery at Passendale.
Mark and Hamish.
Tyne Cot (worth a visit if your in the area).
Some other GSers arrived as we were leaving.
We knew from reports from the UK that snow was on the way. Luckily it only appeared in force about 25 kms from Calais. We managed to make it ok.
Mark was impressed with the weather.
Had a fantastic time and met some great people.
Thanks for looking.
