Spent the day with the French Syncro club

Post by **toomanytoys** » 31 Oct 2005, 16:03

We popped down to Lake Vassiviere www.vassiviere.com to meet up with the guys and gals from the French Syncro club on Sunday. They were holding the AGM at a castle on the island in the lake, with 2 full days of trails too..

Got a lift with Sebastien in his special bus.. spent most of the day on green lanes, lunch by the lake, visit to the holiday home of the first crusaders (Pallier).....
We were given a very warm welcome by everyone..

Great time was had by all..
Will crunch some pics and post shortly..

So you didn't *actually* use your Syncro then?

They're not designed to work best as sheds, you know.

Actually .... No.... welding and registration to do.. and when I am werkin 500 miles away its difficult... my arms are only so long!!!
Maybe its like Harrymans mythical beast???

Lunch Syncro style on the edge of a lake.

PJ and his 181 negotiating a tricky rock on the trail..

At the top of a trail, a chapel with lots of pedestrians.. can you imagine the uproar on a UK tourist site?? nobody batted an eyelid!!! apart from "how did those campers get up here" looks....

And at the Knights home.. a carpark of Syncro's...

You haven't renamed the links with %20 etc in the spaces. URLs don't have spaces.

I've noticed that there seem to be a lot of white syncros about in france.
Why?

there's a joke in there about white flags / white vans but not worth the hassle
