If any of you chaps have any breakages, as can happen, then I will be driving to France on the 6th/7th if you need any parts delivered close by. Won't have room for Tyres or big stuff though.

Was just thinking how much i was looking forward to the off! Then realised for some of you lucky bandits, the fun starts tuesday!

Looking forward to catching up with everyone @ Le Mans on Saturday night (assuming the Atom can make that last stretch along the motorway without needing fuel!!)

I sense another epic trip coming up

Guys

I know Golding hasn't released the actual hotels as yet but it would appear that potentially none of the hotels we will be staying at has a pool

From the LOT website the Mercuirie Hotel in Dijon they recommend doesn't have a pool and I have a feeling the other 2 are the same

I would have thought with the number of downtime days we would be keen on hotels with a pool as per the last Frolic?

I guess we are snookered now getting things changed with Golding?

I think Ali managed to put him off pools last time

There's bound to be somewhere decent to chill out on off days?

Thats a bummer...

Saw your car at MMC today Benny, when i was picking up the shed after some "upgrades".
Got utterly soaked on the way back to Livi. I couldnt breath, never mind see where i was going. Had to pull off the A 71 till it calmed down.

Can you pull some strings with Goldmember to see if theres a pool option? Would be a shame if we needed to invade a French water park ... Oh wait ... That's a cracking idea (if they serve beer...)

Just booked Tunnel for 9.20 on Saturday morning return journey, leisurely drive back home and probably stop off in Glasgow Sat night.

Pretty sure my liver will need a rest by then anyway

He's not going to be able to move hotel reservations for 50 people at a weeks notice gents. Be realistic.

The hotels have been reserved for ages to get that many rooms.

Suspect we will just need to investigate what the options are locally if there are no pools.

You've just been lucky with the hotels on the trips you've done so far!

Anyway, like you pair will spend more than 5 minutes out of the bar anyway!!!

ps - those that remember Alex (Mad as a brush and usually thrashing some shed or another!) from trips gone by - i found this this morning on PH
