Excellent link.

And it works even better with the . removed from after .html as it was in the other site...

Camping in Ypres

Did a quick tour around Ypres and the battlefields in September and camped at the camp site below.
It only cost £4 a night for me and the bike; excellent value. Deposit required for the gate and shower key. Only a few minutes walk from the Menin Gate and the town centre . It is well sign posted from the roads into Ypres.
Well recommeded but does get a bit boggy in the rain but it was exceptionally wet weekend

I have a day trip planned for my local bike club on April 19th to the Salient using the points from the website above, plus additional info from Holt's and Mike P.

Hopefully Seafrance won't have gone tits up and the weather is less "Pashendale" on the day.

DOH! Forgot to make it an open invite for anyone fancying a day across! Then too late to edit the post...

I missed this link but will be sure to use it again.

I was there last Sunday night and it was my first time for the evening ceremony. A wet freezing windy night but very moving nonetheless. There were maybe 150 persons attending including some Brit school youngsters who to be honest couldn't have cared less, but I was probably the same at their age.
Although none of my family are named there it was sobering to see how many Kings Liverpool Regiment are. As a Scouser it made me thankful my grandfather was posted to India and Afganistan during WW1 otherwise ........
