Recommended Posts

ok here are a few pictures from the tour i did yesterday

we left at 4am and finnishrd at midnight

we stated at the south african cemetry then went on to Lochnagar Crater

then we moved towards albert for lunch then towards the canadian cemetary where a minister was due so made a bit of a muck up of our plans so took a couple of photos of the trenchs and a photo of the piper playing a lament by the visitor centre

then to wind the day up with a visit to Thiepval where we were diverted from a main road by gendarm towards a bridge with was 2.6m high and the coach was 3.6m high

after finding another route to thiepval we got there and i managed to put a cross against the main memoral with hmvf on it

after leaving here we headed towards arras to find they had a concert in the square so could not stop and headed back towards the uk
