Well... If we can pick a time, me and Adam will probably see you there :ok:

:agreed:

I know you guys have probably all seen this, but be a bit cautious on the M25.... especially if you're late and trying to make up time.....

I read this, and had it mind yesterday on the way to and from Leeds castle, I tried to not travel too quick!, hopefully my speed didn't creep up too much... (hopefully its not in full "cash cow" mode yet!....)

I did notice lots of extra cameras on the sides of some of the pillars. It didn't seem to slow a lot of folks I remember being passed by quite a few folks 1 or 2 bikes in particular moving quite quick.

Fortunately as a club we promote keeping to the speed limit and driving safely

Thanks Gary - I'd seen that as well as was keeping an eye out for them. You can ususally spot them fairly easily even though they're painted grey. I'm sure I noticed cameras mounted on the back of the side gantry signs too, yet no distance markings on the road?

Then why do we let E lead the convoys? :lol:

:?

Yeah let me know what time to meet at pease pottage, I'll meet you there.

I'd agree with 5am to leave at 5.10 if that works for everyone?

(Could go a little earlier if anyone wants to play it extra safe?? :) )

Yep, 5am at Pease Pottage it is.

That's plenty early enough for my liking :lol:

I'll agree with that as well!!:nod:

Those who have been before will probably have most of this stuff already. For those who have not been before, the below list is invaluable. Most of the items in the "For The Car" section are actually law in Europe, so I would advise that you make sure that you do / have these things arranged.

I'm sure that most of you who have been before will have this stuff, but it's well worth double checking, just in case. Anything that you haven't got can be purchased at places like Halfords.
BLUE are the ones that are Law in Europe! Please remember that the breathalysers are a requirement in France .
But apparently there are no penalties for not having one :cuckoo:
