Does anyone have a surplus camping pass? Ferry booked, van serviced, new boots and MOT. Even washed the push bike. Forgot to buy camping pass. What a helmet.  :-[

Well at least you thought about it now, rather that when you got there!

I think the agencies still have some, but better if you can get one off of here at face value.  Depends where you want I guess.
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

camper now moves back and forwards - well at 20ft up and down the drive - so gears sorted

So booked the ferry today

Just got to get Insurance, Road Tax, Mot, Breakdown cover and test the camper (at least 200ft)

So everything crossed - we (Evil Sam & me) will be there this year

I trust you have a friendly MOT station?  Plenty of time to get it all sorted, it's still 7 weeks to race week...

Newhaven-Dieppe on Thursday AM.
Driving to Limoges to stay with a pal, then back up, early(ish) on Saturday. Return on Monday PM.
Off circuit camping booked.
Can. Not. Wait.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

The tickets have arrived!

Newhaven ferry was booked months ago, and breakdown cover just done.  Now looking at a Coleman Event Shelter, as the old gazebo is well past its best, and we nearly threw it away 2 years ago, but the double skinned roof does keep the sun and rain out.
