WWI sites in Belgium: Ypres (the Ypres Salient, the trenches in Diksmuide, Flanders Field Museum, and of course the last post every evening at the Menen Gate in Ypres....) The whole area is dotted with war cemetaries - if you're in the area and I am around myself I'll be happy to ride with you - I live 25 km from Ypres.

All good Larry, next month and I'm out of here....filming motorcycle adventures is a hobby of mine and I have been getting some drone hrs in as I want to take some aerial footage ....as well as my camera mounts on the bike should make for great memories.....I've set up a blog site here....https://wheresphilsite.wordpress.com And a link to a video teaser here...https://youtu.be/BsWwbu36vB8 Feel free to check them out...cheers mate....

Wow. How good is that. Go you good thing.

I'll post a map soon and get my blog going.

Take care, I'll keep up with your blog.

Well, if You still needa place to sleep in Belgium.

Just looked at your sites Phil, great stuff

If you are going to follow Easy Company then no doubt you will be going to Bastogne. In the town there is a big museum and on the outskirts there are still foxholes dug by the Company in the defence of the town and also a Memorial for the Company which was donated by Tom Hanks

Have a great trip

Wayne

Cheers Larry, I look forward to seeing your route. To me a blog is like a diary only other people can see it and share your adventure. I can sit back in years to come and reminisce....I imagine I will update the blog once or twice a week and add two or three video clips over the course when my journey starts from May 20.

cheers Phil

Jurgen that is so kind and I will PM you if I need a place to stay. Maybe our paths will cross.....regards Phil

Your a wealth of knowledge Wayne. I had heard of the Museum and the battle of the Bulge monument but not the foxholes. I will definitely be sure to track them down. Brilliant mate thanks I appreciate your help........Phil

No drama Phil

This is where they are, it will make it Easy for you to find
