Not my usual fare but should be of interest to WW2 Gamers
Some people have things like paragliding on their bucket list. I have Military and Historical sites.
Recently whilst on holiday in the Ardennes I managed to follow the XXX Corps route for Market Garden, less trouble than Germans shooting at us but Dutch roadworks and time proved enough of a challenge.
A viewing of "A Bridge Too Far" was put on the evening before of course.

Been there as well! and I have the same type of bucket list ;)
Teutoburger Wald (Kalkriese) is next!

Very interesting, thanks for posting this. A Bridge Too Far is one of my all time favourite books and movies.

Great stuff. One of my favourite operations of WWII, I really must get over to Holland before too long.
Sounds like a few days are really needed to drive the XXX route, and see both the US and British airborne sites.

I would say so Fred, looking at the excellent Holts guide I would say 2 to 3 days to do it justice. Because of our start location in the Belgian Ardennes it just wasn't practical to keep driving back.

Thanks for the photos.
Will never make it, "over there."
I very much enjoy the posting of the pictures.
Thanks for sharing.
