Like yourself I have driven many of thousands of miles across Europe (athough some years ago now) and from experience I have learnt that unless you have dedicated lead and chase vehicles displaying warning lights it is pretty much impossible to keep a group together and to that end there will be at least 3 prearranged stops on our journey along the E40 for our party to regroup and ensure all is well with everyone. The only place that I plan to "convoy" the vehicles is when we visit Arnhem and I am already in contact with Arnhem city hall to facilitate this. Thanks so much for your concern however all is in hand mate. Cheers Ian Last edited by Ian G; 24th January 2019 at 12:14.. |

Been zooming around various web pages for insurance/Recovery quotes ( confident eh ) , and as I didn't commit , I now keep getting odd emails offering me 10-15% off the quote .. So don't leap straight in , let them stew a bit and see if you get a bit off the prices as we have got few months !!
Or we get one personal recovery plan and just chuck that person in any sick car ..only joking !! C

Guys
Whilst I can't make this trip I have been following. For breakdown cover I have all our family cars covered with StartRescue, they have been very good when called upon and not too expensive . Have a look here -> https://www.startrescue.co.uk/breakdown-cover/european <- with 4 day cover from £20.41 And no I don't have shares in the company, nor any other affiliations. SteveN

To clarify a little bit I am booking the Eurotunnel and the hotel on behalf of those taking part in this little trip in order to gain everyone a discount. All other costs including insurances/food/fuel etc etc are the responsibility of the individual traveller to arrange and pay for. I'm not a travel agent just an individual trying to help some mates have an enjoyable weekend together, in the same way that any regional secretary does. That said I believe that entrance to the classic park for the best of British show is free to exhibitors. Cheers Ian Last edited by Ian G; 26th January 2019 at 06:05.. |
