If you visited us during the past six years Iam preaching to the converted, if not read on!
I described the Ardennes area of Belgium as the Southern Ireland of central Europe, anyone who has experienced the 'craic' will know what I mean. The pace of life is very laid back and no-one takes things too seriously, there is a genuine warmth in a greeting and seldom is something too much trouble. Listed below are more Moulin du Ruy-sons to spend time with Ann and I at Ardenne & Eifel Aventures.    The lovely girls on the right?  well it is page 3!

Moulin du Ruy nestles in the Roanne valley over looked by the Mont de Brumes. The World famous Spa Francorchamps race track is 10 minutes away and there is racing there nearly every weekend throughout the season, use the link at the bottom of the page to access their calender. The town which gave its name to 'Spa's' and was the first word in chic in the late 19th century is also a short journey. A new multi million euro hot water Thermes and Spa were opened in Spa in 2004 and you can use the link below to easily convince yourself that you had best bring your cossie! The nearby town of Stavelot has a real cafe atmosphere and beautiful abbey complex which houses museums to both the history of the area and the motorsport heritage, see link. One of the last great battles of WW2 was the Battle of the Ardennes otherwise known as the 'Battle of the Bulge' and immortalised in the story 'Band of Brothers'. We are surrounded by reminders, memorials, battle scarred tanks etc and have a good selection of local museums dedicated to the conflict and senseless loss of life both civilian and military, again see link below. One little known fact is that we have Belgiums longest Ski slope nearby! Yep we have proper skiing here c/w snow cannon, you can hire ski's and boots andd there are drag lifts provided.

We have a  limited number of bicycles available to borrow for exploring the backroads and trails locally and the area is a centre for all forms of outdoor adventure sports and with a little warning we can organise any number of new ways to hurt yourself! Contact us

ESCORTED TRIPS TO THE NURBURGRING.
As mentioned on Page one we offer all guests the chance to ride out and experience lapping the Nordscleife in the company of Neil, calender permiting. Once the Nurburgring has published their calender a list of possible dates will be on the '2008 Calendar' link below. These dates are not binding and wherever possible we will do our best to accomodate your needs. Whenever possible I try to avoid riding with guests at weekends as they are very busy, my prefered times are weekday, half days and evenings, a lap is 21 kms, we can easily ride 6 laps in an evening session, yep thats 126 kms, more than enough track time. Obviously some visitors will prefer to ride at weekends, Iam happy to accomodate them and we can liase before hand to arrange appropriate dates.
Forget all the bollocks you will see printed and broadcast(Nice one Top Gear!)about 'BTG' Bridge to Gantry timing etc, we use 'BGOF' Biggest Grin on Face! Thats important.
For a full list of all Public traffic dates see the Nurburgring site link below.
Warning. Its addictive!

SPA FRANCORCHAMPS
Universally acclaimed as the greatest circuit still in regular use today, from April through to Nov there is an event almost every weekend, with the premier event being the Formula one race.
I take great pleasure in showing visitors around this catherdral of motorsport whenever possible including tracing out the original 8 1/2 mile circuit. Use the Spa Francorchamps link on this page to check out the circuit

2008 Calendar

NURBURGRING
As a current Instructor at the Nurburgring Iam pleased to be able to offer all interested guests an escorted trip at the 'ring'. Due to the incredible number of people on circuit at weekends the most benefit can be gained through visiting during the limited number of dates and times available during the week and this is always my recomended route although if you wish to visit during the weekend this is always available , A list of proposed dates are shown on the '2008 calender' link. Most weekday rides consist of afternoon and early evening lapping as the circuit is generally booked for trade and courses during weekdays.

MOTORRAD COURSES.
As a current instructor with Motorrad I can offer a limited number of English courses in 2008. We take part in a German led Course but have our own group within the frame work of the course. Please email me to enquire about 2008 dates and prices and availablity.See link below 'Check out 2007' for a photogrphic description of the first course of 2008.
