Meanwhile in Heuckeswagen…
The factory of a company I worked for. 2m of water. Decades of oil and chemicals washing across the landscape. Animals dying. Schrecklich.

This is Hückeswagen Germany. In the western area of the Ruhr valley. The same latitude roughly as Belgium and I want to say about 120km from the Belgian border. There are current news stories on the networks showing flooding and collapsed buildings where people have died, which is why it’s on the news at all I’m afraid.

Pretty sure Holland has flood control down! 
Yes I thoroughly enjoyed Belgium and every hectare of the Bergischland area. Saw most of it on a bicycle over several months.

Nice , I’ve only spent a few weeks in Belgium, based my self in Ypres , spent days upon days dragging my battlefield guide around the country side n making him stop at every pile of munitions I could spot , chatting to farmers and picking up shells and casings and trying to get into blown up bunkers , man I had a whale of a time . NZ custums crapped there pants checking my luggage lol had so many spent and failed fired casings ( I’d declared all but they were not prepared for my bag lol) cleared the area I was detained and questioned lol latter released and allowed all my stuff lol 8.5kg of brass lol

I didn’t realize that was still possible. I have walked and ridden a lot of the wwii sites but I figured most of the Ypres battleground was still full of krupp ordinance. Well, obviously it is.
Geez it took balls to plow that up didn’t it?

It was back early 2000s , and yip the guide had a worried look on his face the entire time , he was constantly reminding me of accidental finds and deaths , last day when he dropped me off he said I was the most stressful customer he has ever had but did enjoy the 4 days and needs a holiday lol
