no Venlo this year so it's a new venture...IOW is a thing of the past now...been there done that...

as you can see the PX is getting it's second Euro outing of the year...bumped into a Yorkshire man on a GTS heading to the IOW on this service station...

just emptied the petrol can into the tank...we all know what the ferry companies are like if you have fuel in the spare can...

still leaving on Thursday but a much later sailing...

normally on a 08:00 ferry but gonna camp near Calais tonight so getting on a 14:00...

not a hint of rain...very unusual for August Bank Holiday...

last year the boat was overloaded with scooters...only me this year...

after 21 years it's still a brilliant work horse...

I would normally have used the GTS for this rally but after the problems of the last Euro rally I'm throwing caution to the wind...

using remote control on the camera...first attempt of many...

get them doors open and let's get going...

no rush...about 8 miles to the campsite...
