Thursday & Friday - June 27 &
28 - Belgium and Dover Castle
We were up at Sparrow Fart (3 am) Thursday to head
down to Dover to get the ferry across the English Channel to Calais, France. We had two objectives. First to
visit some of the WW I battlefields in Belgium and see the Menin Gate which was celebrating its 75th anniversary.
The second objective was to visit one of the Belgian Monastery breweries and sample some Trappist ale.
Hill 62 (Sanctuary Wood) Museum
Menin Gate was erected in 1927 in Ypres, Belgium to commemorate the 54,000 Commonwealth soldiers who fought and
died on the World War I battlefields of Flanders but whose graves were never found.
Next up is Abbey Pumping Station Urban Rally.
