Ardennes Tour - September 2005
Part 2: The Tour and Homeward Stage

TR6 near FrahanOn Sunday some of the group chose to follow the tour route through the Ardennes, some to meet up with the Belgian TR group, and others to do both!

Here's Phil's TR6, on the tour, overlooking Frahan.

 

 

The scenery was breathtaking.

No TRs plunged over ravines, although one couple ended up coming to the aid of a car that really had crashed through the barrier and was teetering on the edge.

 

 

TR5 near hautes RivieresThe route followed the Meuse as it wound its way through wooded valleys

 

 

MonthermeThe sleepy town of Montherme marked the end of our tour....

 

 

...its houses and bars hugging the river valley.

 

 

Leaving Montherme, we retraced our route, stopping to savour the highlights, before returning to Sedan to dine with about 20 other 'raconteurs'.

 

 

On Monday the group headed back to Calais.

Some did the outward route in reverse and revisited Arras.

Others followed the Meuse in an impromptu tour, taking in the spectacular Belgian town of Dinant.

A few sampled the Belgian motorways in order to detour to the enchanting medieval city of Bruges.

 

 

Returning to DoverThen it was back to the 'white cliffs' and a less exciting week ahead!
