I'm taking a trip up the Belgian coast to do a long distance walk on the first weekend of May. I'll happily take photos within the area for anyone who has any requests. It will be only within the coastal area between Dunkirk and Blankenberge however and I won't be going into the Salient or elsewhere on this trip.

Requests here or PM me.
