Local departure by coach, then to Ypres for a three-night stay.

We will follow the curve of the Ypres Salient seeing some of the main battle sites around Ypres. Starting at the north where the British and French lines joined, the ride takes in some of the major British cemeteries of the Passchendaele offensive and visits the German cemetery at Langemark. There will be an opportunity to visit Hooge Museum and Café for lunch. We will visit Tyne Cot, the largest British and Commonwealth cemetery in the world before moving on to Polygon Wood and Hill 60, a large area of preserved battlefield left as it was at the end of the war where we look at the 'war underground'.

Includes Breakfast

Cycling south of Ypres we will make our way along the Messines Ridge, the scene of the largest detonation of mine explosions under the German lines in June 1917. There will be an opportunity to visit the grave of Major Willie Redmond of the 16th Irish Division before moving on to some of the mine craters on the ridge itself. Towards the end of the ride we shall look at the grave of George Llewelyn Davies, one of the adopted sons of JM Barrie and an influence for the book Peter Pan.
