Palingbeek and beyond - Part 2

The ride to Palingbeek was fairly short and when I arrived the car park was pretty full.

At the entrance is a café and the CWXRM* have an information point and a statue.

A robot?



From here it us about 150 yards to the decision point. Left to the Bluff and the two water filled mine craters and then to the viewpoint overlooking the Egg. Or right at the info point to the sculpture and then the egg.

I went right.



The sculpture. Gradually the egg will be filled with the dog tags of the 600000 dead.

And then to the main egg.

The first glimpse of it over the hedge.



And then all of it.





Fantastic.

The return is via the Bluff. Along the way are "speakers". When entered it triggers the sound system. Poems from the war poets. Sadly none in English.




Once back at the bike I attempted to cut a couple of the waypoints off the route. But I was defeated.

So off to St Eloi.
