I knew exactly where they would be - swimming and splashing about at the lake alongside the Maas on the other side of Roermond.
My boss in JHQ assembled his own boat from a kit and sailed it on the lake adjacent to the River Maas at Roermond. ISTR there was a sailing club at Roermond where JHQ and/or other British Military units sailed their boats, my boss certainly did together with other Brits there and I often crewed for him. A couple of photos from my album below.














The other place that was lovely to visit were the vineyards on the River Mosel, we regularly camped there - out on Friday evening - back on Sunday evening and whilst there sampling the gorgeous Mosel wine in the reasonably cheap restaurants or Guesthouses - very happy memories indeed. See below.

















If swimming in the Mosel watch out for the barges complete with skipper's car parked on the deck!
