Default 2018 ses ring trip check list

Not long now !!!

Friday 25th May 2018

06.40 Leave for Euro tunnel terminal. (2 minutes down the road)

06.45 Check in

07.50 Depart UK.


We will be stopping at the Shell garage/services @ Barchon Sud E40/E42 for breakfast and then convoy/play down to the Hotel

We are staying here: http://www.hohe-acht.com/your-hotel-...-nordschleife/

Sat Nav co ordinates for the hotel are:

We will be taking the route below, Via the E42 (passed Spa).

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Eu...851786!3e0!5i1

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

The Check List FOR THE CAR

1: Spare Bulb Kit
2: Warning Triangle
3: Hi Visibility Vests (1 for each person in car)
4: Headlight Beam Deflectors (see link below)
5: Fire Extinguisher
6: First Aid Kit
7: Octane Booster (personal choice)
8: Oil (optional but advised)
9: GB Sticker (if you dont have GB on your number plate)
10:Spare Key
11: Sat Nav (with European Data)
12: Crash Helmet (not compulsory)
13: European Insurance & Breakdown Cover (make sure it covers repatriation, just in case)
14: Track insurance (those insured with Keith Micheals, call Moley)
15: Driving License, insurance cert. V5 form and MOT certificate to be carried at all times !
16: Locking wheel nut tool
17: Tyre pressure gauge
18: Breathalyser kit

PERSONAL ITEMS

1: PASSPORT !!
2: Euro Tunnel confirmation e-mail with booking reference and dont forget to register you API http://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/advance...r-information/
3: E 111 (optional additional health insurance)
4: Euro's and debit / credit cards (inform bank that you are away for safety)
5: Mobile Phone & Charger
6: Headache Tablets (trust me)
7: European Plug Adaptor
8: Walkie talkies ? (I will be bring the same 3 or more if I can acquire some)
9: Big bag of cash. Euros.

Those with TOM TOM's down load the shell garages onto your european maps. If you know of anything that need adding to this list, please feel free to add it.

Me and a few friends always carry these in our glovebox in case we end up having an impromptu drive out somewhere. Cheap as chips, brilliant battery life & range.

Retevis H-777 Radio Kit

One unexpected bonus is a lot of restaurants use them, speeds service up a bit!

Hey guys, wanted to check-in and see if I'd be able meet up with you all en-route like I did last time. I just tried the link in the first post for the route and it's not working - I just get a blank AA map search (and I've tried 3 different browsers and two PCs).

If any of you are using Waze for navigation please PM me if you wouldn't mind swapping details then I can see your progress, if not I can provide someone my mobile number and they can message me instead.

BTW, one extra item I recommend for the check list, is a "Rescue Sheet" for your car - it will help the rescue services know where to cut/isolate things should they need to cut you out of your car.

Sure, will PM it to you.

I just seen you updated the route link, but none of them go past the same place. Which services in Belgium do you stop at as maybe I can go there or close by?

Shame you're not going through Luxembourg as our fuel is so much cheaper right now. 98 is €1.31 here https://www.acl.lu/Mobilite/Informat...ants-en-Europe
