Thinking forward!
Do you have any information when this event is going to happen, if it is going to happen?

Usually last weekend of May and plans for 2018 haven't been released yet.

I missed it but apparently it was announced at National that it would be the bank holiday weekend at the end of May, venue yet to be confirmed. I've already booked the ferry.

It was confirmed as the end of May bank holiday. Location not confirmed yet.

a general reminder , obvious but ...
Don't forget to check the date on your passport
and remember all the paperwork for your vehicles
(especially if driving through Belgium )

Well. Another Imp for the ferry. The Chamois Sport has just passed it's last compulsory MoT test.
Now for some final fettling and packing ready for tomorrow.

I will hopefully get the Stiletto back from painting this evening, plenty of time to put it back together for Wednesday ferry other than work getting in the way. See you in Harwich with luck...

I wouldn't recommend the scrambled eggs breakfast on the boat - they were just about inedible last week although the rest was OK, if nothing to write home about

What an amazing weekend!

One wet day and the rest was scorching sunshine. Great runs, great campsite, great company and great cars. Roll on GD 2020

Thanks so much to the Dutch Impers for another brilliant weekend. My favourite bit was discovering the Wild Roosters!
