F1 Belgium - SuperMarket

[Rainey]

Morning All

We are travelling over to Spa on Thursday and want to stop at a "Tesco's" so we can stock up on meat, bread and beet (what more could a man need)

Are we better stopping in France or Belgium and also can anyone reccomend a supermarket enroute from Calais to Spa not far off the route?

Thanks in advance.

Last year we camped as a group and I was in charge of all supplies for four of us. Got all the supplies in the UK and put them in the back of the car and took it over on the ferry. Had a large cool box for the food and perishables, no problem, didn't need to stop. We drank the local beer or in the beer tent at F1 camping. We did have a large beer at the Grand Prix, luckily it wasn't my round ha ha...........44 euros! I kid you not, for four beers and I wondered why every looked at us funny when we ordered four large beers. Even the bartender looked shocked and a little embarrassed when he gave us the bill.

By the way SPA is wicked, at the end of the race you can get on the track from the top of eau rouge. A couple of years back Hamilton crashed at Spa and I was first on the track, got a large part of the carbon under tray and walked straight out of the circuit with it covered in gearbox oil. Could of sold it 100 times over but gave it to my mate you actually likes Hamilton!!
