OMG - I have loaded up Neils gear and my camping stuff - Boot is already full.

Paul - I can offer you 1 empty rear footwell, enough room for a big clothes bag , or 3 tents. Will that be enough?

Giles, do you have to bring your own toilet???
Hehe, that should be ok for us, my mate who's coming with me is short, so there will be room behind the seats, (passengers anyway) might have to leave the gazebo, we'll see on Wednesday.
Great to hear you can make a brief flying visit Martin, 10/10 for effort yes

After reading some reviews of the campsite........ Yes we will need our own toilet !!!

However, I have taken a little google streetview tour from our campsite, you can walk 5 mins into francorchamps village which has 2 good restaurants plus pizzeria and snack places, a bakery and a shop with butchers.

Small BBQ ready and intending to buy small stove so we can fry up some bacon in the morning, will bring table and have borrowed my mates gazebo again, that's the benefit of owning a sports tourer lots of space, not.

Saying that haven't tried to fit it in yet. Neil might have a frying pan on his lap. Base camp will be sorted.

Be warned narrow lanes on M25 by junction 6, speed limit 50, might be little busy.

Martin great effort, looking forward to seeing everyone. Rumour has it, it is as good if not better than LMC.

As I have co-pilot will be in car filming with no bloody wind noise.

Checked out weather forecast, they say you can have four seasons in a day at Spa. Only hope is few days ago said it would be beautifully sunny.

What time and where are we meeting by the way.

Sounds good to me, checking the forecast it looks like showers right through the weekend. Think I will leave my wheels and tyres as they are, should be ok.

Sounds good, the postcode is ME14 3AS

The Premier Inn is 33 miles from Folkestone. So if we are meeting the others at 10am, can you meet us at 9.15 ? gives us time for a chat & application of a sticker !!
