Opheers ,Belgium 30th June- 4th July.
A short bimble to Belgium for some STRONG beer..

We got to Dover at 10pm ish on the Thursday night. We where put on the 12:30 ferry, which landed at Calias at a horrid time of day! We drove through the night towards Ypres. Above is the Cloth Hall in central Ypres at 5am.

05:00. Time for Tea and biscuits in the middle of Ypres square.
Camping stove & PG Tips save the day!
45minutes later and a wonder round and the sun comes up.. We head on our way. This time heading for Waterloo.
We drive into Waterloo with a certain ABBA song blasting out the speakers. The locals where confused.
Many miles and driving later we arrive in Opheers around 1pm. We are tired and need a beer.
We had arrived quite early, so picked a good spot in the field.

The event was extremely well organised, with BBQ and a constant supply of good beers. Oh and lets not forget the fire each night.

BBQ Belgium style. Don't talk to me about sausages. I ate way to many. On a side note I was very impressed with the couple that came along with their Sankey kitchen trailer. English breakfast was cooked on this every morning!

Yum yum!!

The village church at night.

Midnight around the camp fire

A bit of greenlaning!

More lanes..

This was a little over grown!

It was very hot, so we where lucky to find mud.

Dave tests his suspension..

I can't remember where this was taken..??

Oh my god! A puddle!!

This is more like it!

At the end of the long weekend we lined up for a photo in front of the old house next to where we camped.

Big house

Big house and artistic things?

That THING woke me up at 5am!!!

Many Land Rovers from many countries!
