Well a few of us braved the weather and headed over the Belgium for the winter rally, for me it was a first but certainly not the last time, it was brilliant.
Friday - arrive at the huge hotel of Ol Fosse De Outh in Houffelize just north east of Bastogne, a few beers then a large buffet that even filled me up! then a few more beers and and a night cap, very frindly atmosphere and very efficient organisation. Rooms were perfect and very reasonable.
Sat - up for breakfast then fire the jeep up for a 65km drive in a rather large convoy of MV's. unfortunately the weather closed in and we could only see about 100 metrers in front but still a very enjoyable drive following the Autocar through the narrow hill side tracks. stopped an Clervuex for lunch and a nose in the museum then on with a further 45 km drive back though the forests and hills to the hotel. The evening bought a sit down meal for all and a disco.................oh and some beer!
Sunday - up just after going to bed! breakfast and out on a 30km drive in convoy, then sunday lunch for all before heading back to blitey.
i would recomend this weekend highly as it was well organised and very well priced with all you hotel and food included in the fee, a huge selection of vehicles to see and see being put through there paces in the Ardennes forests, Great stuff!
