French Frolic 2022

[alicrozier]

Plan to join the group Sat/Sun then head home Monday poss stopping over in Reims Monday night the Eurotunnel early Tuesday
Can’t go all that way and not experience the alpine roads

That would work for you, Sat/Sun still epic then Bourg Saint Maurice to Reims on the Monday.

Final routes and consolidated Hotel details (I've booked up now).

another thing to remember for Frolic - dont pack the bloody car jack in the locker beneath the 2 atoms....

[robin]

Oh dear. Doesn't the rangie have a normal jack in it's cavernous boot? What a bloody trip home that was ...

[alicrozier]

What an epic trip that was!

Trackdays were fantastic as usual and the days in the Apls were sublime. Fantastic roads and the weather couldn't have been better.

Yes - it twisted during the process, fortunately just after I'd popped the space saver on! Had to drive off the f******* thing!

Will just call the AA next time

Wasnt needed during the 1104 mile trek home..............
