doogle Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Bit of a strange post this, but whilst riding the Terry's Cup Trial in December last year I got chatting to a chap that I have seen regularly at road trials around the country but never chatted to. We got chatting about a road bike trip I have planned this summer and he had done similar routes taking in Grossglockner, Stelivio, and rode similar routes every year from what I gather. He recommended a tank museum to me, that has one of only 2 surviving certain model WW2 tanks in it. I can't remember what tank, where it was, or even which country it was. I am starting to plan some places to visit on the trip and would like to take a look if possible. I would recognise the guy but don't know his name unfortunately.. It's a bit of a long shot but was it you I was talking to, or do you know who I was talking to, or do you know the tank museum? Sorry for the very vague post...

pierre66 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Could it be the Musee des Blindes at Saumur, Maine-et- Loire, France? I think they have a Tiger 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogle Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 It wasn't Dorset.. It was definitely on the continent. The 2nd one sounds like it could be. I will check it out. Thanks for the replies so far.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collyolly Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 The French one is superb, well worth a visit even if you are not into Tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
