Things are taking shape:

Pre MOT test. Done
Service and MOT check. Done (Reversing lights work now)
MOT booked for Friday morning. Done (Fingers crossed)
Billing booked from Friday night. Done (no hookup..[:0])
Tent checked. Done

Left To do
Buy some Leffe [:D]
Decide what else I can fit in the boot [:(]
Book the Ferry
Wash and brush up
Top the tank

Hopefully the ex wife will co-operate and not send my son with a huge suitcase. I mean how many clothes does a boy need for a weekend camping.

Cant wait to try that tunnel [8D]

looking forward for a good chinwag and catch up

unfortunately have still to pack or even check the car over hopefully tomorrow night

going to pack my bag tonight

tent been aired as has my sleeping bag.

Just going to fill tank and put spare tank of fuel in the trailer in case I run out ( I won't but it is piece of mind )

as the fuel gauge is still not working.

I might be leaving a bit earlier this year as my wife might be taking Emma to her grans house

allowing me to get up and just go.

Yes - really looking forward to seeing Stevie and all the old mates again...its been two years too long.

Looks like I'll be leaving Lux Thursday afternoon and getting a late Ferry, for a stop over in Kent Thursday night. Cant get away from Kent before 4 Friday, so will have to do battle with M25 and M1 on a Friday...[:(] Good test for the TR's cooling system.. [:I]

Hi,

Aired my tent Sunday, both air beds punctured, glad I checked before Friday ! Got to work on Friday till noon but only 30 odd miles away so no big deal.

Hope gents comming a little further away have a safe journey and swift journey, looking forward to catching up and a couple of beers, plus dont forget breakfast a Vinny's, no where else do you get a 'Full English' in a Indian resturant !

Cheers John
