Have added another stop to my tour* around the southern battlefield area - Plugstreet**
With their usual inability to pronounce the "foreign" place names, Ploegsteert became Plugstreet to the Tommies sent to this sector.
After I let TomTom work out the route from the Island of Ireland Peace Park*** it actually takes me right past Plugstreet. I have added it as a waypoint anyway but from the pictures, I doubt I would miss it.
* My Tour as it looks pretty much like I'll be on my todd again.

At least I should score another 50/50 Challenge! The round trip is about 240 miles. I'll need to make sure the tank is filled to the brim with what might turn put to be cheaper UK petrol.
