Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 with the times this year means we can take it easy on the drive in Europe and still get there in plenty of time so a nice chilled evening should be a laugh or time for a couple of laps if were awake enough !! oh and providing peeps don't get lost this time !!

craggsy 91 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 well we do need to sort out an EASY meeting place after getting off ferry....and I mean EASY......like just off it Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 personally I reckon the best thing to do is to use the first servies on the E40 - so we are not messing about straight after the ferry everyone can just nip onto the motorway waz up it and stop at the services for fuel, redbull etc makes it easy Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 haha have added it to the first page now as well think that makes sense and seems the easiet way for everyone, normally end up in a couple of groups by the time we get off the ferry so everyone can hit the motorway straight away and meet up nice and easy at the services Link to post Share on other sites
