Nick,

Spend Saturday afternoon in the Bois-Brûlé, a moto-cross track in the woods just outside town. There will be some tanks driving around the track in the woods. Parts dealers have stalls.

And there's Belgian beer to be had in copious quantities.

As for Sunday, trace the route as pointed out be Alex on a map and make sure to get into position on some of the vantage viewing points, most notably the field where the mock battle is to be had and the town square where all the vehicles will rather after the drive around town.

Drink more beer Sunday evening.

Get a good breakfast on Monday morning to battle the hangover and off you go to the UK.

Hope to see you there,
Hanno
