PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A TIME CHANGE TO OUR VISIT TO THE MUSEUM AT PEGASUS BRIDGE FOR THOSE GOING TO NORMANDY. ARRIVAL AT THE MUSEUM WILL NOW BE AT 12.30AM AND WE WILL BE DEPARTING BY 2.15 AT THE LATEST. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL THERE. THIS NIS STRICTLY OPEN TO UK AND ALLIED WD MOTORCYCLES MADE FOR THE 39/45 CAMPAIGN. CHEERS, JT
I'm not much of a camera man, but lots of others were snapping away with their phones. Here are a few I took.
Merville Battery seems to have been clinically cleansed of anything German?? Other places have had the "tourist" treatment ie Battery Longues, Point Du Hok, You can't get into St Mare Eglese on D Day and you cant park by the church as we always did. Lots of fresh gleaming white concrete and I'd like to meet the councilors who have shares in Tarmac speed humps.
The country route to Pegasus on 5th was good with pictures taken by others of us on the original bridge.
Our best ride of the week by far was our 80 mile round trip to Don Fife, though beautiful French country side. Ron
Hope to see you there Rob. We are booked at the campsite again for next year. (We are getting on well with the new owners) It seems that the MVT haven't booked the whole site this time. I believe any MVT tour will require you to make your own bookings???
Of course it will be extremely busy, so we'll avoid the usual "hot spots" on commemoration days, although we'll see if we can get to Pegasus on 5th.
Sadly, they've generally been posted on arse-about-face book for instant "likes" and won't be shared anywhere else.
I'm sorry, I'd love to share my pics but unfortunately my computer is very out of date still running on Windowx XP, and most websites don't work on it. Posting pictures on a touch screen device is almost impossible.
