I’ve got a pass to do the Liege Bastogne Liege sportive.

My wife and kids are coming. Any ideas on what they might do whilst I’m getting wet on La Redoute?

Go and play in abandoned power stations? Or steel/iron works (there are 3), or just about anything you fancy, Liege used to be a very industrial place, but very recently its become a dead zone. Its about the equivilent of visiting Middlesborough or Port Talbot

And be aware that its name changes depending on which direction you come from. To quote wikipedia:

Liège (French pronunciation: ?[lj???]; Dutch: Luik, [lœyk] ( listen); Walloon: Lidje; German: Lüttich; Latin: Leodium; Limburgish: Luuk;

And this also impacts the road signs, which is why I went sailing past one day on my way back from Germany…

Good food though, which is all I remember.

Its about the equivilent of visiting Middlesborough or Port Talbot

They’ll love that. 😯

They can meet my misses and moan about us!

As pointed to by B R – if coming from the north remember that there will be no signposts for Liege but there will be plenty for Luik 🙂

b r and cranberry – Thanks noted.
