Providing it is the end of Sept and the campsites have showers, I may be up for it.
What sites Jim?
Dunkirk area or Normandy/Caen?
Wanted to do August but that's been scuppered

If you guys need any guidance in places to see.
I recommend looking at majors and mrs Holts battlefield guide books. Very useful.

If you decide to do the Normandy end, visit the German bunker complex at Azeville (about 4km inland from Utah beach).

Its fascinating, particularly the 14" hole drilled through it by the USS Nevada.

I quite fancied this as I did a whistlestop tour of the Normandy beaches in one day back in the '80s whilst returning from the South of France so have always fancied going back.

Sadly it's the same weekend as the Hafren Rally
