Thanks for a great weekend we both really enjoyed it.

We made it back ok after a slow drive back and a long wait at the Chunnel.

I have loads of video and photos and will put together another Dvd. Any other video and photos can be sent to me to be included.

Big thank you to Paul for organising it. Great trip and superb company. If we do it again it would be worth bearing in mind that no lorries are on the road on a Sunday hence we had a non stop run back.

I do agree about Sunday but if you are hot to trot then thats competetive driving on Sunday, a late night and then a Sunday rush for the tunnel.

You missed a good time on Sunday, two groups did completely different things on the Sunday had a great meal together and other than when we started to get to Calais did the trucks present a problem.

However I would not go through Brussels again or Eurpen both are a PITA.

You did really well considering your mileage, it took us exactly 12 hours door to dorr, but we did have a short stop to modify the corvette, lunch with chips (that slowed us down) but the tunnel was a bit of a bummer with extra waiting time, great time thou
