    A tradition in Scotland - hunting !!
    One of my best short trips in 2002.
    There were many Scotsman (obviously), two Englishman, some Norwegian and finally three Belgians...
    Getting together with some friends - go to marvelous Scotland being embedded as a photographer.
    No discussion on this site on the theme pro or con hunting.
    I just enjoyed a new experience - got some new friends in Europe and respected the rules of team building and nature hunting laws.

    Watching horseriding in West-Flanders.
    Waregem-a small town near Ieper has not that much to offer except some gothic churches and musea like :
    - The St-Amandus and St Blasius church
    - The museum Steengoed
    - The Castle of Ter Elst (1905)
    - The Flanders Field American Cementary
    But !!!! This town is famous for the biggest "Steeple Chase" of Flanders.

    Sports Travel: Skiing in France

  • Theme: Skiing/Snowboarding

    Skiing in Belgium, more especially in the Ardennes is rather impossible
    But France- our neighbourhood country has to offer a lot of skiing pleasure
    For example : "Tignes" enjoys all the skiing attributes of Val d'Isere, as they combine to make up the L'Espace Killy. The 300km of marked pistes cover all abilities and provide greatly varied mountain terrain.
    The skiing in Tignes is simply fast, and with several free lifts for beginners helping the excellent local ski and snowboard schools.
    I have to admit, i never went there because skiing is not my favourite journey.
    But my daughter, Fred, Sam and some good friends did. And i'd like to share their experience with VT members, loving skiing resorts.
