Belgium / Ardennes and surrounding areas

Hello folks
Just looking to again look for advice and tips for an impromptu short break where we have 3 x nights driving around Belgium and surrounding areas.
1st day - Hull Zeebrugge
2nd Day - Zeebrugge - Reims
3rd Day - Reims - Namur
4th Day - Namur - Bruges
Then back on ferry following morning

The hotels in Reims / Namur and Bruges are all booked so really just looking for advice and ideas of any good roads and routes that some of you may have taken whilst in this area. I shall obviously research google maps etc but I have always found this forum and its members extremely helpful in the past so any advice from those in the know shall be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
G

The really good roads and scenery in Belgium start to the east of Namur in the Ardennes and on to the Luxembourg Ardennes. Namur, Bastogne, Ettelbruck to Echternach is a lovely ride but not really on your intended route.

I like the roads around Trois-ponts and Vielsalm. The region around Bouillon also has some great scenery
Not 'very' close to Namur though.

Are you already back from your trip? I just went one week in The Ardennes. (both Belgian and French) As cpct mentionend I loved the scenery near Boullion as well bastogne.

Let me know I still have some routes in my GPS if you're looking for them. And don't know if your intention is to camp or hotel/lodges.

rgrds,

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
