Flatlands - Day 11: Oostende -> Ypres (55 km)

In #Nieuwpoort ,we left the coast behind and entered southwards the West Flanders plain. A major theater of World War I, the region is dotted with #peace memorials, some of which—such as the famous Yser Tower at #Diksmuide —have since become symbols of Flemish #nationalism .

Anyone got photos from the menin gate service in Ypres for Anzac Day? Hoping to spot some family members if you’d share! #anzac #anzacDay #ypres #ieper #meninGate

Please share, it’s way outside my usual range!

Home again after a 5-day trip to France & Belgium with four of my oldest friends from university.

It was hilarious. We're still the exact same dickheads we were 36 years ago, just older and a bit broken. That didn't stop 3 of them cycling 170 miles or so over three days, including multiple cobbled climbs in Belgium.

One important thing to note though: lads, tell your male friends that you love them. Tell all your friends, but especially the blokes. They need to hear it.
