Yes, agree with Fran, very odd not getting the gear together, I guess the last 2 years have been a wind down thanks  to the Brethren, Tom and Bob. The shed full of gear will be stowed safely for our return.

Well I've located my Tent, Stove, Chairs, Table etc after the mess the Removal men made.  (They stacked the contents of the garage very nicely but nothing was labelled <sigh> )

Just need to await the arrival of Canada Phil.

Hi Phil,

looking forward to see you again. I will arrive Wednesday and, same as last year, there'll be a fresh, cold german Bitburger beer waiting for you once we've set up our pub , aaah camp on BN.

Have a good trip

Tent, Check
Sleeping bag, Check
Gazebo, Check
Cooker(s) Check
Barbie, Check
Gas Check

Just as shame that they are dotted around three garages in SE London, got some driving to do tonight to round it all up...

Still, that's better than a mate, who is due to arrive at the passport office at 11am to pay silly money to get get his passport emergency renewed, ready for Wednesday...

Pretty gutted not to be loading up the van today. I have to keep reminding myself that I'll still be heading down for the classic in just over three weeks.

Did a big shop yesterday. Plenty of beer in, lots of Red Bull, ingredients to make Tartiflette etc and looking forward to watching it all on telly. Still need to get the van fixed up in time for the classic so plenty to keep me occupied. Downloaded the Radio Le Mans previews onto my IPod last night and listening to them at work today.

Just like to wish everyone a very safe journey and an enjoyable race. Have fun everyone but please come home in one piece. Hoping the weather is kind and the beers are cold. Oh, and if you get the chance take plenty of photos.

Had last minuite planning meeting on Friday evening, ended up as a bit of a pub crawl and me in the dog house once i got home. Very little planning was done other than a agreement to take a BBQ.

Leave West Sussex early Wednesday assuming the local water level has fallen and should hit the hallowed and beautiful Houx Annexe late afternoon!

Work is dragging and people keep phoning with the most stupid of questions and I know tuesday will be worse.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

 All just about ready. Days holiday on Tuesday for getting ready and packing. Almost everything located now, music downloaded. Batteries and phone on charge.

 Early departure from W Sussex for Newhaven/Dieppe on Wednesday, Arrive due to arrive at the sunny and tranquil Houx site Wednesday early PM.
