Market Garden & Hells Highway

Another nice event on the way;
70th commemoration of Market Garden (20th of Sep) and the way to it (Hells Highway).
In the week (15 - 19th of Sep)before the parachute droppings on the Ginkel heath there will be many events related to Market Garden in The Netherlands.
As there's always a group WD bike owners at Hartenstein (Airborne Battle Wheels) or on the side of the Rhine, others who normally don't attend me be present this year (just like Normandy).
Perhaps we can catch up somewhere? I know it will be busy, but every year I see pictures afterwards of people I would like to have met but missed on the day itself.


Regards,

Sven

Re: Market Garden & Hells Highway

Hopefully I'll be there this year once the ferry is sorted. I am doing the XXX Corps convoy up from Joe's Bridge. I'll be on the bike with the artillery, make your self known if you see us. As you say it will be good to put a face to a name. Same goes for anyone else in the area. There are another half dozen bikes registered for the convoy, anyone else from on here?

Re: Market Garden & Hells Highway

Booked my ferry earlier this week, we are going via Dunkirk, something WW1 then up the corridor for the weekend at Oosterbeek, then back via Wipers and a visit to the Menin gate on the way home.

I'm taking a Mk5 bicycle strapped on the back of the car, much easier as its a long long way from Devon.

Re: Market Garden & Hells Highway

Hi Duncan,

There are at least 3 "dutch" bikes joining the XXX corps convoy.

myselves (Ruud) on a Matchless G3 ( I guess G3L in the vehicle list) , Henri on his Norton 16H and Gerrit on his BSA M20 .

we don't know yet to what unit we are assigned.

Re: Market Garden & Hells Highway

Hi Ruud

I will see you there then! What Unit markings have you on your machines? I've had to switch 2nd Army to suit the guns we are portraying for the event. Must be nice to have a wide choice to pick from! :-)

Re: Market Garden & Hells Highway

Hi guys,

I'm going to do the tour of the 20th with the OMG2014 group.(arrival on the 19th in de afternoon, in Veghel)

But I saw the XXX-corps group is going to Groesbeek for the para drop the 18th. Can some one tell me what time/place the para drop is? I live very close to Groesbeek. I would like to come with the BSA and watch the drop.
