Somme more stops

Having looked a little closer at the Somme region we shall be riding through, I have now added the Memorial to the Missing at Thiepval, to the stops we shall make. This memorial reminds us that not all those who made the ultimate sacrifice are 'lucky' enough to have a place of rest.  You'll find the link to this and the other new stops down below. 

Shortly after the Memorial to the Missing, just outside Pozieres, we'll make another brief stop by the Australian and Tank Memorials. I'm keen to see what Grizzly,  a keen and very good photographer, makes of the small scale replica tanks on the latter. 

Leaving these memorials,  we'll be back on track for our overnight hotel stop, a Campanile in Arras. 

Changing the subject, I've been in touch with Biggsy to see if he's going to be coming with us. At the moment it's not looking too promising but there are still a few months to go and we all remain hopeful.  If he doesn't make it this time,  we'll make certain we drag his arse with us to Scandinavia next year!

  1. You should pass the Tommy Cafe near Pozieres as it is on the main road. A coffee there and a look at the preserved trenches and memorabilia might be a break.
