It was raining while I was packing the bike, but it eased over breakfast and had stopped by the time we left, to become a glorious and hot day.
Known as 'Plugstreet' by the Allies, this was our first stop in Flanders and it is well populated with cemeteries and memorials. We stopped briefly at the Lancashire Regiment's cemetery just outside Ploegstreet, before proceding to the Memorial to the Missing, which is opposite Hyde Park Corner, a Royal Berkshire Regiment cemetery. The Memorial has the names of over 11,000 who died in this sector.
A group photo was also taken here.
