UKBEG members may be interested in this 5 day trip to the Ardennes and Eifel Mountains, Monday 24th to Friday 28th June. Great roads and scenery guaranteed, and hopefully some good weather :sun: ....

We're staying 4 nights at the Hostel International which is located on the outskirts of Saint Vith, Belgium, near the German border.

Hope it works out Kev :yup:...

If it does, perhaps we could meet up in or near Lauwe around Monday lunchtime?

We were tempted to amend our trip to include the Buell Day BBQ but we've decided to stick with our original plans:

Our travel itinerary for this trip:
Sunday 23rd June: Travelodge Ashford, Kent.
Monday 24th June: Eurotunnel, Folkestone to Calais, 09.20 hours.
Monday 24th to Thursday 27th June: 4 nights based in Saint Vith, Belgium.
Friday 28th June: Eurotunnel, Calais to Folkestone, 17.20 hours.
Friday 28th June: Travelodge Ashford, Kent.

The trip to the Ardennes was great fun. We had a couple of wet days but be rest were dry and sunny.
We even got onto a track day at Spa for the afternoon, 1pm to 6pm, which was open pit lane so no groups. It was awesome, Spa is a great circuit, very grippy and with a 600ft elevation change.
The roads were fantastic all the way into Luxembourg and they were very quiet, not much traffic at all.
Recommended.
