Im so glad Im running a diesel.

Same here, i should get to the venue and do a fair bit of off road driving in with the same tank of fuel from the Tescos at the end of my road

Pushing it a bit ..... thats over 500 miles on a tankful. Although yo will be filling up in Belgium at €0.20 litre less than the UK

Let me correct that, i should get to the venue from Calais on a tank of fuel. I have been getting just over 600km per tank on an un fiddled with 1.9td AAZ. I stand corrected

Looks like Holland uses the UK type bayonet, wheras Belgium and Germany both use the 'Acme' type filler so an adapter is required there. I may not bother with an adapter and simply fill up in Holland.

Just thought, not sure -

Reminder to the lpg running motors but think the lpg vehicles need to have a continental adaptor.

i get that in the doka on a run , thought that oil burner would smash that?


on a seperate note i spoke to syncroandy about bringing some fire wood as i have a lot in the garden, i could pack a few rubble bags full of old dry oak but moving it is the problem as our van is pritty full (wife and daughter) is there any one with some space in there van for a few bags,

What will you burn it in Neil,
Are we allowed a bonfire or do we have to keep it off the ground?
Sorry think Ive just answered that myself, its in the instructions already

The inside of my van is a shed (bit like the outside!) and I have room. If you get them to Dover, I'll take them from there. cheers Patrick.

I dont mind slinging one in my van either neil if you wanted to chuck in another one.

I'll bring my Acme adaptor + extender to share (but depending on your socket it may not fit).

I believe bonfires are permissible on ground that has previous had a fire on it and there appears to be plenty of those.

[syncropaddy]

Some countries are funny about importing dead plant life so will you be allowed bring your own wood? Can you not burn deckchairs with towels on them.....

Fair play. We are the same as Neil two adults one small kid, only we are on holiday for an extra week across europe after the event. Dont mind taking a couple of extra bags of wood on the roof rack though if Neil wants a fire
