LMES round 1 - Spa

[hgb]

With almost a week to go it's about time to do some planning.
I just throw in my two pennies... CA meeting at the beer bar at Raidillon/Eau Rouge on saturday 16:00. That's when the CER race (historic sports cars) will take place.
For those who don't know where the bar is: You will find it behind the big wooden block house just above Eau Rouge.

There is a good chance i wont have got to Spa yet. Our ferry doesnt dock until 1330 hours in Calais.

We are having a nice eat with the MG lot in Malmedy later on in the evening.

My car will be parked outside the pub.

Now looks like I might be at Spa, but arricving Sat afternoon sometime. Anyone any idea how long from Calais?

Auto route things i can do the 220 miles in 2 1/2 hours ??

I should be there by 4 pm Saturday, just about.

Booked into the Etap in Liege for Saturday night - anyone have any better suggestions around the same price? (Somewhere around €30, no brekafast)

I'll wear a CA t shirt (yes, I do have more than one!) each day so hopefully you will find me. Surprisingly, www.weather.com suggests that it will not rain after Sat morning - sometimes overcast though.
 
But just in case I don't make Saturday in time - can we set a meeting time/place for Sunday?

I've never been to Spa and it would save me lots of time if I hooked up with a regular, even for a short while.

I'm assuming I can get parked easily and buy entrance at the gate?

We can also meet at the bar after the start, let's say 12:30 on sunday. I'll watch the start from Eau Rouge anyway (where Paddy and the dutch lot will have their flag on display). So, it won't be a big deal to get to the bar.

Smokie, you have mail.

[Robbo SPS]

We shall decend that way.

Smokie - We are staying at a youth hostel, dead cheap, but single / double rooms, paying not a lot.

[smokie]

Hmmm...youth. That's those things with the loud music and the backwards baseball caps isn't it? Not sure I qualify.

Is there a Saga home nearby?  

[Robbo SPS]

We are booked on the 1215 Dover calais sailing - P&O, but hoping for an earlier sailing as leaving Pompey at 0900, maybe see you en-route.

We're getting ready to leave tomorrow and are staying in Liege Fri & Sat night.

We'll try to meet you guys on Saturday at 4pm.

If you see a blue 350z, black TVR Tuscan, black S2000 and a silver or lipstick red S2000, then that's us!

Would that be the youth hostel in Malmedy? That's were the Drinking for Holland lot will be to. Good choice, around 25 euro a night including breakfast, bar just around the corner at the small hotel located next to the hostel. Beer at reasonable prices!!

C U there,

knetter

[Robbo SPS]

Yeah thats the one.

If any of you see a cloud of black smoe, thats my tractor.
