On holiday the other week I intended getting a Then & Now of the Grand Vallee near Hangest , where Rommel's lot formed up after crossing the Somme. Location in this post. http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/268466-post252.html This view I was after. For those with After The Battle , 'Blitzkreig In The West' see page 468. http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=25622&d=1267653537 Well anyway , located one end of the valley sucessfully . Viewed from the left in the above photo. When I tried to take a Now off the Then, posted above, I thought I'd got the right place. Until I looked again. I thought it looked 'odd' when I took it. But convinced myslef I'd got right valley I got the wrong valley. If you look at the ATB book on page 468 you'll see another chalk scrape in the middle distance. That's the one I took & post just above. Oh well, better luck next time.
What'll be really depressing; is if you go back, stand in exactly the same place, turn 180 degrees and go 'ah'...
Owen Try and try again nice view what was the bird/wildlife like? Please post the others you did take.
