Do you have a departure port in mind, even if not set in stone? As that will influence the tour direction. Also a meeting place/accommodation depending on how far members are coming from? For me Bristol - Dover, on an MT, is a leisurely 4 hours.

It will be the 200th anniversary of Waterloo next year (18th of June).Is there any thing worth visiting there, as it is kind of on our way from Calais to Bastogne. :?:

Not really, the farm is there and not much else if we want to do the Bastogne War Museum in the afternoon we would have to push on. Their may be some reenactment but would depend on how long people wanted at waterloo? If you want it I can include it.
