Speculation on TAR16 *no wish-lists please*
Caelestor:
A Liverpool leg could also imply a London leg.

This needs a lot more "TAR Detecting", but I'm not very good at it (see screen name :lol:)

^^They do a WW1 re-enactment there every year. Probably still set up when the Race comes through.

2old4tech,
Good job of spotting that. There a significant number of WW! societies in the U.S. and in England, but few in France. The list event you mention above was followed by Training weekend at the Black Country Museum in Dudley, West Midlands. 16/1/10 & 17/1/10, which of course is about 5 weeks too late to do any good for AR16 and of course not in France. To be useful, the event must be between about Dec. 5 and Dec. 10. I do not agree that the reenactment staging materials at Fort Seclin is likely to have been left in place for 7 weeks, but I hop you are right. I have been looking for events since the news about a WW1 French battlefield arrived and I have yet to come up with one. It was one of the worst winters on record in northwestern France.

Some Fort Seclin re-enactment video:
Lots of possible tasks.
