*I'm getting the hang of this lj-thing*


don't get lost, have a map

Napoleon's view from Belle Alliance to Wellington's ridge. A lot of the ridge is the dutch butt nowadays...
W14

This is the view from Belle Alliance to the right flank where Ney's cavalry charged
W15

and finally, as I was biking toward Wellington's right flank, I realised: Yes, there is a ridge!
W16

View from the ridge toward Belle Alliance
W17

along the ridge, right flank. Here the infantry squares were charged by Ney's cavalry for 2 hours
W18

Now I am back at the butt and covered in mud. I started the day in black boots and cargo pants.



Am nicely camouflaged now.
Torrential rain in the night? check. Slogging through mud? check.
It must have been... I have no words.

All these were awesome; now when I re-read Sharpe's Waterloo I'll have mind map. :)
