Last chance to join us on this trip.

Everyone on the list has now paid their deposits for the hotel booking.

I will give the last room back to the hotel on 6/4/19 if no one else comes forward.

Also the cost,



Full EU/world cover all year round for you in any car, repatriation of car, they will even send a driver to drive your car and family/better half home in the event you have a medical issue and cannot travel. all for around £95 a year for you and your better half to be covered.


This sort of cover simply isn't available in the UK from any of the major players, which is kind of depressing!

Have you all filled in the API?

I've had several reminders from Eurotunnel to do mine but I've done it twice now.
Nige has had the same problem too,
Had to call them direct in the end to get confirmation..

Heads up, as Thursday is a public holiday over here it means the Friday will be busy on the roads and pretty much anywhere touristy - folks like to take Friday off as a bridge day to get an extended weekend

See you there.....

Just got in the door myself, was a great gathering and nice to see everyone again and to meet some new people. And of course a big thanks again to Big"E" for perfect organisation.

Roll on the 2020 trip.

Any photos and video that I managed to capture will follow later.

Myself and Cheryl would like to thank everyone for another wonderful trip to Germany.
I know Cheryl and Lisa are very happy they have driven on the nurburgring, and they did the lap in 12 minutes, I was bricking it the night before 😕 as I know Cheryl has a heavy right foot.....

So many wonderful memories.

Loved everyones company, new and old faces.

Hope everyone got home OK.... DSC_0040.jpgDSC_0087.jpgDSC_0083.jpgDSC_0079.jpgDSC_0043.jpgDSC_0080.jpgDSC_0011.jpgDSC_0045.jpg
