smilinjack 0 Posted September 12, 2011 Not with the bike however. Bit of training at Brother's European HQ in Emmerich am Rhein. Fly to Amsterdam, train to Arnhem, meet the Krauts there. I'd have liked to have visited the bridge at Arnhem, doubt there'll be time. My uncle Roy was in that raid, got away by swimming across the Rhine with shrapnel in his leg I may not bother with my pooter so play nicely until I get back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted September 12, 2011 I did the battlefield tour of a "Bridge too far" with the Army. Took a whole weekend was very touching and moving. I was with an old soldier and as we were walking around he said "there lays my mate under that tree, shot and died" it was very humbling.Try to get to the War museum at Arnhem.Have a great trip.

smilinjack 0 Posted September 14, 2011 Well in the end I did bring my pooter. Hotel window looks straight out onto the Rhine, which is like the M1! We just watched a container ship go by with close to 100 containers on it there's all sorts going along it. Coal, chemicals-beats queuing on a motorway somewhere I guess. Maybe post a pic or two tonight. Just off to start my training session, still labouring after last night's monster pizza. It was as big as a car wheel man!
