Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to Danny! Thanks to Jay who brought a cake to celebrate.
Everyone has gone off to bed now, so hopefully they will sleep well.

Arrived at hotel

All 4 coaches arrived at the hotel at the same time. Perfect coordination! Time for dinner now. 

Detour

Small detour due to a massive crane blocking the road 3 miles from the hotel! Dinner awaits us. 

En route to hotel

We are now en route to the hotel in Belgium. 

Arras Cemetery

A visit to Arras cemetery including a study of the soldiers buried there. 

Vimy Ridge

The weather wasn't as good as we had hoped at Vimy, but maybe more authentic. The boys saw the memorial as well as reconstructed trenches. They are building a new visitor centre ready for the 100th anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge (9th April 1917). 

Weather

I think it would be fair to say that the weather has taken a turn for the worse. However Mr Doran's app says it will be fine by the time we get to Vimy Ridge. Let's hope so. 

Arrived in France

We have arrived in France and will be en route to our first stop shortly. Quite windy, but not raining for now!

Eurotunnel

We have arrived in good time at Eurotunnel. Time for a bite to eat before we get our train!

Packing the coaches

Packing the coaches and almost ready to depart.
