Hey Chris,
Yes, I am really looking forward to it. Last year I missed the show sadly, but this year I scheduled a visit for the Sunday. We will probably try to watch the tanks on a few intersections along the route. Hope to see you there! Alex

Hi Alex
Perfect, you'll see a fantastic event which I guess wouldn't be possible anywhere else. The public roads have been already in such a bad condition that it doesn't matter, if +40 tanks drive on them  I watched the parade from 5 different spots: Bridge in Mons near the starting point, big place in Cuesmes, in the Woods near Mesvin, big field in Mesvin and then afterwards the gathering in town. It was a little bit a hassle to get from one point to the other, so you wouldn't miss the start of the convoy passing thourgh, but also a lot of waiting, overheating tanks etc. Route on Sunday: have a look at Andreas Google Earth Route. cu there Chris

I think I should go to Mons, too...
Hello Chris,
I looks like I should go to Mons 2009, too.  This year I had some trouble with my company getting vacation for that event.  I could only get vacation for Friday and Monday. So I think I'll leave home on Friday morning.I wanted to complete week before Mons free, to have enough time to prepare the Kettenkrad for the event but like every year, there is not enough free time before. I didn't book a hotel until now and I hope there are still spaces. Hope to see you at Mons! (What about Hanno???) Best regards Andreas
