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:

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.
