Admin Michelle Young Posted 16 March , 2018 Admin Share Posted 16 March , 2018 Looking at the forecast and remembering the weather you had last year, the moral of the story might be "Don't book a holiday the same week as Tim" i am based near St Quentin next week but will be venturing up to Pozieres.

Don Regiano Posted 16 March , 2018 Share Posted 16 March , 2018 I think the whole of the GWF must be over here shortly. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to do any WW1 stuff but may be out on my bicycle over the weekend as I will be without transport then. If you see a fat old Englishman hunched over a bike in the Guillemont area, please don't run me over. Reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenchtrotter Posted 17 April , 2018 Author Share Posted 17 April , 2018 From The Elbow, OG1. Given to Dom at Pozieres. Was freezing. If you took your gloves off you couldn't move fingers after 20 secs. -2 but worse with wind chill. I look rather threatening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
