The Way Back

Now I realise folks that we havent even got there.....but

I'm trying to work out holiday/ work/daughters exams etc etc and wondered what plans people had for the return leg? Is everyone going like the clappers back to calais or sauntering back?

I notice i'm not the only one from ooop north so whats everyone else doing?....

I was thinking about getting myself to Lille and getting the Eurostar to Ashford.

But I'm Daaan Saaaf anyway so it's not too far for me

i am doing the rally with my dad as a co driver and we used to go to france every year as a child but havent since i was 14 ( you know the holidays were you get dragged around churches etc when your a kid) so i was thinking of taking a few days traveling back as a sort of 'remember the old days' sort of trip.

Well im from up north too dont think ill be rushing too much to get back and was going to look at maybe doing a day here or there on the way back up home.

same here a nice saunter back.

im gonna be heading south in austria to, kaprun where I ski in the winter, wanna look around in the summer!! see what the mountains like for green lanes, if there are any!!

then i was gonna do the ferry from calais, as its cheapest option for me!

i was thinking of stopping 1/2 way back to calais and having a few days lazing around and getting drunk

The Organisers will be stopping off 1/2 for one night on the way back. We will be sorting the campsite out nearer the time, we could always let people know where it is if you fancied joining us

that sounds like a plan tim..let us know nearer the time mate

Need to get back for work

May have to run straight back, but the half-way stop sounds like a plan.

Depending on who my co-drivers is and what there plans are I could be up for a halfway halt back does sound like a plan I was thinking of making one or two stops on he way back anyway but an over night hault sounds good, pref with a proper bed lol

I will have to put the hammer down and head er home, can't take any extra time off.

Idea............ could we not retrace our steps on the way back so we can collect all the L200 and jeeps?

Don't cry! I too have owned a Land Rover in the past, so I know how exactly what you're going through

I owned a shogun once.......................................shame we all make bad choices once in a while. yuk

That's coz it was a Shogun, should have gone for the Pajero - more deluxe!

Nice one there Tim
