Thursday 23 May - Monday 27 May 2013 - 5 Day Tour
This is our fourth Beer & Battlefields Tour. Our base is the friendly Oude Abdij Hotel in Lo, the site of one of the many Belgian breweries destroyed in the First World War. This Tour will centre on battlefields and breweries in the Ypres Salient in Flanders and will as usual include visits to well known and some less well known sites. We will have the services of Siobhan McGinn as our guide to Flanders Fields, and this year Siobhan will be giving us the benefit of her studies on the MA in British first war studies which she will undertake in Autumn 2012.
Tour Price: To be announced in Autumn 2012. Prices will be based on sharing in a twin or double room.
Single Supplement: To be announced in Autumn 2012. If you are travelling alone and want to share a room with another traveller please contact Podge as we are regularly able to pair up travellers in twin rooms to avoid the need for payment of a single supplement.
