Yep they are wonderful views.
Extremely quiet and peaceful too

At camping Dilsburg on the river Necker ,four castles can be seen from the site and Dilsburg is a fortified hilltop town

Not bad to wake up to

 

[Tonks]

Not the best picture, but not a bad view! Especially when it fired up two of the engines!
The first time I've ever been on a Zoom call and had to say 'we're going to be interrupted by a Lancaster running it's engines!

Crossed the Rhine from Ruidishiem on a ferry

€15.40
Now at Bingen campground 30ft from the river

Nice site with a great cafe/bar next to the ruins of the Hindenburg bridge we broke on 13th of January 1945

Donington Park race circuit for the first round of the BTCC this weekend. Being parked directly under East Midlands Airport flight path does not aid a good night's sleep!

Spent a night at the Hooge Crater museum in Belgium ,very interesting for ww1 enthusiasts (if that’s the right word) indoors lots of artefacts etc outside parts of the German front line trenches and bunkers

Then on to Yepers
Where we both found this wrong

I know it’s supposed to be symbolic but a step too far perhaps?
For information the Menin Gate is covered in scaffolding and plastic sheeting for the next few months so nothing is visible

Totally wrong and inappropriate.

I'm curious as to why you think it's a step too far, it appears to have been moved and painted white since I saw it quite a few years ago now, or perhaps there are more then one, but I thought it quite moving when I saw it first.

Why did they feel the need to include a female ,afaik there were No outwardly female soldiers in the British army in Flanders (there may of been a few concealed female soldiers?) so we felt it was an unnecessary addition to fit modern ideas and detracted from the hundreds of thousands of Male soldiers who fought and died ,but each to their own I suppose.

I can understand your view, however there are two women buried in war graves in Belgium and 122 in France, one a nurse, Nellie Spindler age 26 died at Passchendael in 1917 killed by a shell, she is buried alongside 10,000 men, her rank is inscribed staff nurse, let us not forget those ladies and the trauma they would have to live with on their return to civilian life after witnessing so much suffering. Also, it wasn't only the British operating in the Ypres salient, there were Belgian, French and Canadians there as well, though I don't know if any women served in the French or Belgian forces.

Downpatrick Head in Mayo, Ireland. (From the park up actually!)

Overnight spot looking over Luskentyre beach. Finally arrived in Isle of Harris, after promising myself a trip here for ages.
It hasn’t disappointed
