I'm planning to get down there sometime soon. As I live in belgium I need to go down to recce out some routes and look around ahead of a pending visit by my father in law in July.
There's a wealth of info on the UKGSER.com website :
Battlefields & Military Interest - ::. UKGS'er.com .::
Don't know if you have a Garmin GPS , if you do I have a load of points of interest waypoints you may find useful. I didn't put these together myself but full credit to those that did - this is a remarkable bit of research that allows a Garmin GPS to take you all over the Ypres and Somme battlefields. Send me a PM with your email address and I can email them to you.
No good to anyone that doesn't have a Garmin GPS I'm afraid - you won't be able to view the file but I could send an Excel file with the LAT/LONG positions - to give you and idea there are 266 points just around Ypres and 242 around the Somme - most of these are memorials or significant battlefield points of interest.
