| Still makes me shiver walking through Le Bois Jacques near Foy.
BoB episodes 6 and 7 just leave you wondering how the hell they got through it all. | |

| Wholly agree Mark - One 2013 crew had a real moan at me because of the rain; as if my fault! We were there in June - The Bulge was in 1944/5 and took place in the coldest Ardennes Winter in living memory. Sort of puts the 'damp' of June 2013 into perspective! | |

| If I remember correctly Tony, no wonder the rain doesn't feature in your mind.  I recall you made a 'minor' navigational error which took you to Bestogan - which, at the time, was enjoying a heatwave and 30C. To remind you where you were on that lovely day have a look on Google maps  I've been to Bestogan myself - not a large place, but one steeped in history going back to Marco Polo. | |
