BRUGGE TRIP 2010

BEDS HOC

4th JUNE – TO – 6th JUNE

FRIDAY 4th

I will be leaving from Maidstone motorway (M20) services at 3pm from the car park in front of The Roadchef café, to make the 4.20pm Channel Tunnel crossing.

PLEASE BE FUELED UP AND READY TO LEAVE PROMPTLY AT 3PM.

Once on the French side we will take the motorway route to Bruges, so as to get to the hotel and check in as soon as possible. This will give us time to freshen up and find a suitable eating and watering hole.

SATURDAY 5th

After breakfast the choice is yours, there are plenty of markets and places of interest in Bruges itself to occupy your day.

On the other hand if you fancy a bike ride, I will be riding to Antwerp to the Stampe Aircraft museum (weather permitting), which is an undercover and flying museum. This is about 60miles each way.

Upon my return to Bruges, there will be a brewery tour of The Half-moon Brewery. If we get more than 15 peeps on the trip we should be able to get a tour exclusively for our group-Hopefully at 4pm, and should last for 1 hour, after which we can sample the brew, there is a restaurant so a meal can be purchased if people so wish.

SUNDAY 6th

After breakfast there is time to look around the Sunday market for those that wish to do so, or take a canal tour of the city.

We will have to check out of the hotel by 12 noon the latest, after checking out a light lunch will be in order before leaving Bruges heading up to the coast road to Ostende and stopping for coffee at a café. From here we will continue along the coast road eventually picking up the motorway and the return Channel Tunnel crossing at 4.20pm
