Mixing a little business and pleasure at the weekend as I have to be in Verviers
for a concert, so I'm taking the Cerbera.

Anyone any advice or recommendations etc about the route to Spa, places to visit
and getting in and perhaps.. even driving on to the circuit?

Thanks in advance.

They've closed most of the circuit off, but when i went last, some boy racers had opened it up and you could drive a third of the circuit. The police just sat and watched! The scenary and roads around there are great for driving, and most of the restuarants do fantastic food and drink.

The hire quad bikes at Mont Rigi are quite good for half an hour or so and the 'Ring is not that far away (80 miles ish). The road to the Ring past Aachen takes you past the Summer bobbahn (go down the side of a hill on a teatray!) which is FUN. Or if you are there on a Wednesday there's Zolder open day; and Thursday is Hockenheim (180 miles down the largely unrestricted A61, so just over an hour!) open evening.

Edited to add - The Michael Schmacher Kart Zentrum at Kerpen is good fun too.

There's an excellent restaurant in Spa called 'Rotiserie du Porche' that's well worth a visit - the food was superb and the prices were fairly reasonable. I've got the address and telephone number at home if you want them - drop me an e-mail through my profile.

Pete, we ate at the 'Rotiserie du Porche' today.

Excellent meal, great value and very friendly staff, many thanks for the tip.


We'll go back for sure.

More about the trip tomorrow, but 900 miles in 48 hours in the Cerbera was bliss.
