Where did you stay in Ypres OC ...and what sites did you do...

Any photos ?

We stay in Old Tom, right on the square, 100 yards from the Gate and 100yards from the Flanders Fields museum.

We stayed at the Main Street Hotel, which is absolutely beautiful, they looked after us like royalty, we shall definitely return

The holiday was just that and so we didn't visit any of the WW1/11 sites (I assume that's what you meant), but in late August myself and a group of friends visited loads of sites before ending up in Ypres (Leper). pictures of which are in this thread, I hope I haven't misunderstood your question. apologies if I have ..DOH

It's Ieper (ieper) not Leper. It's the Flemish word for Ypres.

Heal well my friend and do as yer told,... mostly.

Roger.. sorry! must have missed this post, hope everthing works out just fine for you p.s when the weather picks up will be visiting "the bridge" with my new steed, but defo not before the ice as gone the last time I was up at the bridge was on my 2008 zzr1400 and my rear end must have slipped at least "64 times ya know" just remember seeing a set of pink armbands disappearing around the bend in front of me when I happen to look in my mirror and seen one of the lads heading sliding towards the ditch

Ta George, you are correct of course, I ought to know having just visited the place..I'm obviously more confused than I first thought   

What would I do without you. 

[beegee]

yes indeed
it's only 30 kms from my house ... if you want to know anything from here ... ;-)
ps for biking the region between Ypres & the french border (and over the border) is my favourite

OC, how are you now ? hopefully better?

I'm gaining strength and improving daily thank you, and have regained about a half stone of weight   

Good luck for the future.Can you let me know what triples you have please?  cheers.

Nige I have sold most of my Triples namely the 'special', H1b and S3a, and have now only got a KH500 and my beautiful H2c in the rev shed, plus an F6a or two but they don't count really [/color]

OC .. apologies as I am very late to this thread .... I really hope you are on the mend and your %age of body mass is on the increase .... at a time of year when many are trying to get rid of the pounds you are trying to put them on !
Beer, Kebabs and chips will always help .... with a decent dollop of, as you Northerners say "moooooshy peas" .... 
Get well mate.

[O.C.]

I'm now feeling and apparently getting better too, the problem has been type 2 diabetes, my sugar levels were at 29.4 which is massively high..... finding the right combination of medication has proved difficult hence all the tests, and there is more to follow as I have to have a full CT scan next week.

Thankfully my eyesight has begun to return to some normality

Rusty, I really like your dietary plan,    unfortunately Beer, Chips and kebabs are now permanently off the menu for me 

A new bike arrives here today so I'm getting all giddy about that, and I intend to be back out on the road very very soon
