Whizzing to Europe

[Flip]

I know I have posted something about this before but I can't find the thread anywhere so apologies for asking again.

I know there are a few here that have popped through the tunnel and visited WW1 Battlefields etc. (Spacemonkey..??) and so I was wondering upon getting to Calais how long does it take to ride down to Ypres and then to the Menen Gate?

I ask as I am planning a little trip over to Holland at the end of this month and am trying to work out my route and the order of places I need to visit.

Many thanks in advance.

Bit over an hour minutes to Ypres, another twenty minutes to Menen

Eh, Menin Gate is in Ypres. Ypres just over an hour along the motorways, 2h via scenic routes. Menin Gate is a few minute walk from the main square.

Took just over a month in 1914.
