“Circuit Historique de Laon”
Thinking about doing this trip again next year, some pictures and little summation from this years (wettish!) trip in the link. Despite the weather we all had a good time, but I think I'm going to add an extra day either side so that we can visit some villages on the way down and back and maybe have a bit more time to explore the old town/city of Laon.

yep....

we are hoping to go down a few days earlier this year, are you planning to go with Continental again Graham??

Im certainly up for it again, i have spoken to Continental about doing some runs for handicapped kids(as Russ did) if we can organise it, as yet i have had no reply but i will try again.

It will give me a good chance to test the new engine and trans and hopefully see some decent drivability/economy.

cheers K

We have been looking for something to replace Lemans.... (The Classic is great but not on next year and Lemans has gone a bit chav IMO.) So is this similar? Did you book yourselves or was there some kind of package on offer? Any advice - where to stay etc - whould be great.
