Checklists completed and emailed to fellow travellers. Mostly ready with the exception of a few details including ingenious folding legs for the barbie, re-design of the windbreak of destiny and requirement to get some European beer tokens and renew my travel insurance. Otherwise all set.
I tested negative for patience.

Her Majesty's Passport Office quote 3 weeks.  45 - 21 = Loads of time...  >:D

The car has gone in for its service - the first since 2013, so not bad.

MOT isn't due until Le Mans week, so not getting that yet.

Now bikes or no bikes.....

I just need to know, what will the weather be?

I reckon it'll either be hot or wet.

Or both.

Or neither.

Any help? :-)

Yes, so guaranteed not cold then?

And no snow? Leave the chains at home then?
